Ping
by Girafi
Ping lets a player mark a spot in the world and share it with nearby players, and a locator bar shows where each marker sits.
What it does
Ping is inspired by the Portal 2 mod of the same idea, and it reproduces the feature in a way meant to be useful in a Minecraft world. A player holds the V key, picks a ping type by moving the mouse over it, then releases V or clicks to send the marker. Pings reach everyone within a configurable range.
The mod shows each marker on the experience bar as a small icon and a locator bar, which help other players judge the location and direction of the ping. Both the server and every player need the mod. It requires Fabric API and Forge Config API Port, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 48 release versions, 1.7.2 – 26.1.2. The code is not open source and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Hold-to-ping input
Holding V opens the ping selector, and releasing the key or clicking sends the chosen marker.
Configurable range
Pings reach players within a distance that can be set in the configuration.
Locator bar icons
Each ping appears as a small icon on the experience bar, showing its direction relative to the player.
Mouse-based selection
Ping types are chosen by moving the mouse over them, so the selector stays quick to use mid-game.

Use cases
Cooperative exploration
Players in a shared world can mark a cave entrance, a base or a loot site for the rest of the group to find.
Server coordination
Groups on a multiplayer server can point to targets without typing coordinates in chat.
Who it’s for: Players who explore or build with others on a Fabric, Forge or NeoForge server. Server owners install the mod on the server and on every client that joins.
How it compares
LatencyLite is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 that runs client-side only and is not open source. FPS Monitor is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers Fabric and Forge for 1.16.1 – 1.20.1. TAB Compass is client-side only, not open source, and targets Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.6 – 26.2. Ping instead needs both the server and every player to have it installed.
