Better Ping Display [Fabric]
by vladmarica
A numerical ping readout for the player list is what Better Ping Display adds, showing every connected player's latency as a figure.
What it does
A configurable numerical ping readout appears in the player list, the overlay opened with the Tab key. Each player's latency shows as a number beside their name, so a lag spike on one connection can be spotted without judging from the signal bars.
It is a client-side mod, so only the player installing it sees the change. Servers do not need it, and it works on vanilla servers. Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. Published for 24 release versions across 1.15.2 – 1.21.11, plus snapshot builds, under the MIT License, with open source code.
Key features
Numerical ping in the list
Each player's latency is shown as a number in the player list rather than only as signal bars.
Configurable display
The readout can be adjusted through the mod's settings, so the list shows the ping information the player wants.
No server installation
Only the client needs the mod, so it can be used on vanilla servers without the server owner's involvement.
