Better Ping Display [Forge/NeoForge]
by vladmarica
Better Ping Display shows each player's connection latency as a number in the player list, on the client only.
What it does
The number replaces the usual signal-bar indicator in the player list, so latency can be read directly. A config file lets the user change the text color and the display format, although that option exists only for Minecraft 1.12 and later. Because only the client needs it, the mod works on vanilla servers without any server-side install.
Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge across 19 release versions, 1.7.10 – 1.21.11, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
