Ping Like R2
by QiChenSn
Ping Like R2 lets players mark blocks, structures and entities in the world, in the way Risk Rain 2 handles pings, on NeoForge for 1.21.1.
What it does
A ping marks a block, a structure, an entity, a block entity or a dropped item so that other players can see it highlighted. Pings fall into three types, each with its own icon. Each incoming ping also posts a line in the chat box that gives its details, so the marked object and its position are readable without looking at the map.
The mod is built on Ping Wheel, and the author credits that project's developers. When Jade is installed, Jade shows information about the pinged object, which helps when a marked block or entity needs identifying. Client and server both need the mod, so the server and every player run it.
Builds are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.12.0 as the latest file from 2025-12-16. The code is open source under the MIT License. Future updates are planned to target newer versions, with a possible backport to older ones.
