Nametag Ping

by ic3d

Nametag Ping shows each player's latency in milliseconds on the nametag that floats above their head, with the number colored by how high the ping is.

What it does

The mod appends the live ping in ms to each player's nametag on the client, and the ping value is colored by configurable thresholds, so a slow connection stands out at a glance. It supports standard TextDisplay-based nametags, and the colors, thresholds and display format can be changed in its settings. A display toggle lets a player hide the ping without removing the mod.

Nametag Ping requires Cloth Config API, and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings from the game menu. It is a Fabric-only mod, published for 1.21.11 and 26.1 – 26.2, with 1.1.1 for 26.2 as the latest file. Only the client needs it, so players install it and servers run without changes. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Live ping on nametags

    Each player's nametag gets a ping readout that updates as the connection changes.

  2. Color-coded thresholds

    Ping values are colored by ranges the player can set, so latency bands are simple to read.

  3. Configurable format

    The text layout of the ping display can be changed in the mod settings.

  4. Toggle

    The ping display can be switched off and back on without uninstalling the mod.

Questions

Does Nametag Ping need Cloth Config API?

Yes. Cloth Config API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Nametag Ping on Fabric.

Do servers need to install Nametag Ping?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

Can the ping display be turned off?

Yes. A toggle in the settings hides the ping on nametags while the mod stays installed.
