So recently, Hypixel added some new gamemodes, across the Duels and Prototype lobbies. I'm expecting those to get added to the Quickplay menu sometime in the future, but that's not what I want to talk about.
The Parkour Duel, which isn't a duel because there's 8 people, has this booster feature which is on a 60s cooldown. I constantly use it at the wrong time and fall in the void, and so I'm afraid of using it because the only way I know it's available without counting down a minute in my head is the single green line in chat, which gets mixed up with the three other green lines that appear everytime I die ("you got teleported to the checkpoint, all players are visible, all players aren't visible").

There's already a timer mod, and as far as I know it only works with Bedwars. It could be included in it, but I don't know how it would work since the count-down begins when you use the item, and not since the beginning of the game like in Bedwars. That's why I'm thinking of a separate mod, which would admittedly have a pretty niche use, with a rectangle that can switch colors when it's available and when it's not. It could have the feather texture, with some text like "Booster available in:" and under it the actual seconds until it's available, and when it hits 0, would display "Now !". During the count-down, the rectangle could be for example red, and when it's available, green. Of course, all of the colors could be changeable.

After thinking about it further, this mod could be used not only for Parkour Duels but for the lots and lots of minigames with usable items with cooldowns. I would really appreciate it if it was made, because it would greatly help me having a better time. I was thinking about it particularly in the Parkour Duels because the cooldown isn't clearly visible, but for all other minigames with abilities with long cooldowns where we lose track of when it's available, this would be very helpful.

Thanks for reading the whole thing, and if you have any ideas to improve it, please tell me !
