Ping in Tablist
by alex265
In the tab list, each player's connection latency appears as a plain number beside their name, in place of the stock signal bars.
What it does
On a server, the tab list normally shows a small signal icon for each player. This mod swaps that icon for the exact ping value written as a number, so a player can read latency without hovering over anything. Ping values are color-coded, which makes slow connections easier to spot at a glance while the tab list is open.
The mod runs only on the client, so players install it and servers do not need it. Optional integration with Mod Menu adds a configuration entry point in the mod list. Files are published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.21 – 26.3 across 16 release versions, and the code is open source under The Unlicense.
Key features
Numeric ping in the tab list
Each player's latency appears as an exact number in the tab list instead of a connection bar.
Text in place of the icon
The ping display can show a text label rather than the default icon, for players who prefer words.
Color-coded values
Ping numbers are colored by range, so low and high latency can be told apart quickly.
Replaces default bars
The vanilla connection bars are replaced, so the tab list shows only the chosen ping display.

Use cases
Monitoring latency on multiplayer servers
A player checking a laggy connection can read exact ping values for everyone in the tab list without leaving the game.
Comparing players on a shared server
Color-coded numbers let a group see at a glance which members have stable connections.
Who it’s for: Players who join multiplayer servers and want exact latency figures in the tab list rather than the default signal bars. The mod is for the client only, so server owners do not need to install anything.
How it compares
Visual Ping is Fabric-only, covers 1.21 – 26.2, is client-side only and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Ping Display is also Fabric-only for 1.21 – 26.2, client-side only under the MIT License, and not open source. Better Player List works on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.4 – 26.3, is client-side only under the MIT License and is open source, so it covers the same loaders with a wider tab list feature set.
