PearlCooldowns

PearlCooldowns

PearlCooldowns is a lightweight Fabric client-side mod for Minecraft PvP that shows a configurable cooldown timer for ender pearls.

It is designed for servers with custom pearl cooldowns, where vanilla cooldown visuals may not match the actual server rules.

Features

• Ender pearl cooldown overlay
• Timer shown directly on pearl item stacks
• Optional cooldown text below the crosshair
• Green OK text when pearls are ready
• Configurable cooldown duration in seconds
• Configurable countdown and OK colors
• Text size toggle: Small, Normal, Big
• Resets cooldown on death, disconnect, reconnect, and world changes
• Timer only starts when a pearl is actually thrown

How It Works

PearlCooldowns does not simply start the timer when you right-click.

Instead, it detects when an actual ender pearl entity is spawned by the local player. This means:

• Clicking while pearls cannot be thrown will not reset the timer
• Throwing a pearl successfully starts the timer
• Throwing another pearl resets the timer
• The cooldown display is based on the configured server cooldown

Usage

Open the config menu using:

O

You can also open the config through Mod Menu if installed.

From the config screen you can change:

• Pearl cooldown duration
• Whether OK is shown when ready
• OK display duration
• Countdown color
• OK color
• Crosshair text visibility
• Crosshair text size
• Crosshair Y offset

Notes

PearlCooldowns is a client-side visual helper. It does not change pearl behavior, cooldowns, packets, or server-side gameplay.

The cooldown value should be set to match the server you are playing on.
