Ping Overlay

by check_fraud

Ping Overlay shows the current ping as an FPS figure beside the right end of the hotbar, and its client-side logic is the only part that runs.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.11 – 26.2

What it does

The overlay draws the current ping value next to the hotbar on the player's screen. Because it lives on the client, only the player who installs it sees the number, and the server needs nothing. Fabric API must also be installed, and the mod needs Java 21 or newer. Builds exist for 1.21.11 and 26.2, with 26.2+1.0.1 as the latest file, released under the MIT License but not open source.

Key features

  1. Ping beside the hotbar

    The current ping is drawn right of the hotbar, so the value stays visible during play without opening a menu.

  2. Known update limits

    On some servers, such as Hypixel, the server rate-limits ping information, so the displayed value can update slowly.

  3. Possible overlap

    Other HUD or GUI mods that render near the right hotbar may draw on the same spot as this overlay.

Questions

Does Ping Overlay need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, and the mod runs only on Fabric Loader.

Must the server have Ping Overlay installed?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.
