Lunar Ping Display
by RGRakib
In the TAB player list, Lunar Ping Display swaps the usual signal bars for latency written as a number of milliseconds, and each number shifts color according to connection quality.
What it does
Each player entry in the TAB list shows the latency as a number, so the exact value can be read at a glance without guessing from bar length. The numbers are colored by range: green below 150ms, yellow from 150 to 300ms, orange from 300 to 600ms and red above that. The display is a visual change only and does not alter how the connection itself works.
The mod is a client-side only mod for 1.8.9 on Forge, so only the player's own game needs it and servers run without it. It works the same in single-player and on multiplayer servers. Installation is a single file placed in the mods folder; it activates automatically on join, and it can be turned off at any time from a small menu opened with the pingdisplay chat command, where a single click toggles the numeric display.
The current Forge file is 1.1 for 1.8.9, published on 2026-01-08 after a first release on 2026-01-07. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. It is listed in the Minigame category with game mechanics, utility and decoration tags, and the author describes its look as inspired by the clean style of Lunar Client.
