AMS Pings
by ams
AMS Pings lets players mark a location, a block or an item in the world and share the marker with everyone on a multiplayer server.
What it does
A player can place a ping on their own position, on the spot they are looking at, or on an item hovered in an inventory, chest, furnace or other container screen. Pings appear as compact HUD markers that show the distance in meters and the coordinates, so other players can see where to go and what item was called out. Pings stay visible for a set time and a per-player cooldown limits how often one player can send them.
The mod is built for multiplayer play and uses a light network exchange to share pings between players. Its hotkeys are listed under the AMS Pings category in the Key Binds menu, and the B key is used while hovering an item in a container screen. A configuration file is generated after the first launch, with options for ping duration, cooldown, target range, marker size and distance display. Installing it on the server and on the clients is what lets the pings be sent and seen.
The files are released under All rights reserved and the project is not open source. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across seven game versions, with the latest file for Fabric and NeoForge targeting 1.21.1 and the latest Forge file targeting 1.20.4.
Key features
Location pings
A player can ping their own position or the spot they are looking at, within a configurable maximum target distance.
Item pings from containers
Hovering an item in an inventory, chest or furnace and pressing B shares that item with other players as a ping.
Compact HUD markers
Each ping is drawn as a small square marker with optional distance in meters, sized by a configurable marker size value.
Configurable timing
Default ping duration is 5000 ms and the default cooldown between pings per player is also 5000 ms, both adjustable in the config.
