Ping Items
by raskajanie
Ping Items lets a player middle-click a chest, barrel or other container and mark it so teammates can find it on a shared server.
What it does
When a player middle-clicks a container, the mod places a ping on it and on the exact slot that was pinged. Teammates who open the same container see the pinged slot highlighted in gold, and the container itself gets a glowing outline in the world that shows its position and distance. A container icon floats above the block when someone looks directly at it. Each player can ping up to 5 items at once, and pings expire after 10 seconds.
Pings are sorted into channels, which keeps large servers organized, and each player can choose a ping color in the mod settings. The mod is built for multiplayer survival and co-op servers, where it replaces describing a location out loud. It runs on Fabric and Forge, requires Cloth Config API, and is published for 1.7.10 – 26.2 across 12 release versions, under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, which is not open source.
