Fast IP Ping

by fallen-breath

Fast IP Ping lets literal IP server addresses skip the reverse DNS lookup that slows the server list, so pings and joins start sooner.

What it does

Many public IP addresses have no domain name attached to them. Joining such a server normally triggers a reverse lookup to find a domain, which can take a noticeable amount of time. Fast IP Ping sets the domain of a server with a literal IP address, such as 192.168.2.10:25565, directly to that IP and skips the lookup. Loopback and domain-based addresses are not affected.

Running on the client only, it needs no installation on the server. Fabric, Forge and NeoForge builds exist with no extra requirement, and the change applies while the server list is pinged and when a connection is made. The author reports a reduction of 1 to 5 seconds for servers that use a literal IP address. The code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.

Key features

  1. Skipped reverse lookup

    Servers addressed by a literal IP are given their IP as the domain, so no reverse DNS query is made for them.

  2. Faster server list pings

    Pinging servers in the server list screen no longer waits on the reverse lookup for literal IP addresses.

  3. Faster connections

    Connecting to a literal IP server skips the same lookup, so the join begins sooner.

  4. No extra requirement

    The mod has no dependencies and loads on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge alone.

Questions

Does Fast IP Ping need to be installed on the server?

No. Only the client runs the change, so only players who want faster pings and connections need it.

Which loader should Fast IP Ping use?

Fabric, Forge and NeoForge can each run it for 26.3, so the choice depends on the loader already in use.

Does the mod affect servers that use domain names?

No. It only changes servers addressed by a literal IP, such as 192.168.2.10:25565.
