Short Description
ShieldFix is a lightweight plugin that gives you precise control over the shield blocking delay (shield blocking cooldown). It provides global settings, per-player overrides, commands to set/increase/decrease player delays, configurable min/max limits, and optional PlaceholderAPI support.

Key Features

• 
  Per-player overrides — stores custom delays by UUID (survives name changes).
  Admin and user commands — full control via /shieldset and /shielddelay.
  Increase / Decrease — quick commands to adjust your own delay.
  PlaceholderAPI (optional) — %shieldfix_delay% and %shieldfix_delay_<player>%.
  Configurable limits — set min and max allowed delay values.
  Feature toggles — enable/disable commands, event handling or PAPI in config.
  Saved in config.yml — per-player values are stored under player-delays.

Commands

• 
  /shieldset — Set a player's delay (player must be online). Permission: shieldfix.set.others.
  /shielddelay get [player] — Show your delay or another player's delay (shieldfix.get.others required for others).
  /shielddelay set [player] — Set the delay (no player = set your own). Permissions: shieldfix.set.self / shieldfix.set.others.
  /shielddelay inc [amount] — Increase your delay (default +1). Permission: shieldfix.modify.self.
  /shielddelay dec [amount] — Decrease your delay (default -1). Permission: shieldfix.modify.self.
  /shielddelay reload — Reload the config. Permission: shieldfix.reload.

Recommended Permission Nodes

• 
  shieldfix.set.others (default: op)
  shieldfix.set.self (default: true)
  shieldfix.modify.self (default: true)
  shieldfix.get.others (default: op)
  shieldfix.reload (default: op)

PlaceholderAPI
If features.papi.enable is true and PlaceholderAPI is installed, the plugin registers:

• 
  %shieldfix_delay% — returns the effective delay of the player viewing the placeholder.
  %shieldfix_delay_PlayerName% — returns the effective delay of the specified online player (e.g. %shieldfix_delay_SomeNick%).

Example config options

Installation

• 
  Place ShieldFix.jar in your plugins/ folder.
  Start/restart the server to generate config.yml.
  * Install PlaceholderAPI to enable placeholders.

Behavior & Priority Rules

• 
  If player-delays contains a UUID entry, that value takes priority.
  Otherwise, if the player is listed in custom-cooldown-players or has the custom-cooldown-perms permission, custom-cooldown is used (backwards compatibility).
  Otherwise the global shielddelay is used.
  All values set via commands are automatically clamped between limits.min-delay and limits.max-delay.
