[1.9] Attack Indicator

Why are people downvoting this? This would break the game so minecarts cant go east, Foods saturation value gets messed up, and Blocks would be aligned wrong <-(Joke). I am seeing too many people on PvP servers who spam attack without them knowing this is 1.9

This is one of the most annoying things, that the Attack indicator has to be turned on. For me every time I relaunch a snapshot I have to turn it back on, it doesn't matter if I have opened that version already.

Yeah, I'd really like this, if it worked like the ender pearl cooldown with an overlay over your selected item. I don't really want an extra texture, and I don't even really want to attack before it's fully charged. Something like this I can see in my peripheral vision when it's gone.

If it was added, maybe the ender pearl overlay could be changed to black so it's clearer that you can't use it at all.
