Ping!
by SatanicSanta
Ping! alerts a player when their name is mentioned in chat, so a message aimed at them is noticed quickly.
What it does
When another message in chat contains the player's name, the mod gives a sound or visual alert. It is a simple client-side tool and changes nothing on the server, so only players who install it receive alerts. Ping! is published for Forge only, covering 1.7.10 – 1.12.2 with 16 release versions, and the latest Forge file is 3.0.9 for 1.12.2, released 2023-10-28. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Mention alerts
A chat message that includes the player's name triggers an alert, so replies directed at them are noticed.
Client-side operation
Only the client runs the mod, so a server does not need to install it for the alerts to work.
Source and wiki available
The source code, issue tracker and wiki are public, so the behavior of the alerts can be checked directly.
