BetterPingDisplay

by KebabDev

With BetterPingDisplay installed, every player's latency appears above their head and beside their name in the tab list, colored by connection quality.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21 – 26.1.2

What it does

The mod shows each player's ping in two places: as a value drawn above the head of each player in the world, and appended to the name in the tab list. The value is color-coded, so a glance tells whether a connection is fine, noticeably delayed or lagging. The ping of the player using the game is shown as well.

Nothing needs to be set up. There is no configuration screen and no command, so the display works as soon as the mod is loaded. It runs only on the client and needs no change to the server, and it can be used next to Tab List Integration on Fabric 1.21 and later. The license is MIT License, but the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Ping above player heads

    The latency of each player is drawn over their head in the world, so lag during a fight can be spotted without opening the tab list.

  2. Ping in the tab list

    The ping value is added to each player name in the tab list, next to the name rather than in a separate column.

  3. Traffic-light colors

    Green marks about 80 ms and below, yellow marks 80 to 150 ms, and red marks 150 ms and above, each in a fixed color.

  4. Neutral separator

    A white separator sits between the name and the ping value, so only the number carries the status color.
