Simple Shield Delay Indicator
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Shield Delay Indicator
Minecraft has a 250ms or 5 ticks delay before shields start to block damage when using them.
This mod lets you see how many ticks left before your shield blocks any damage. Useful for accurate shield spamming.

Note: This mod doesn't account for your ping that gets added to the 250ms delay. It should be negligable if your ping is less than 100ms though.
