Ping^2
Ping^2 is a NeoForge cursed mod that simulates high network latency and server disconnects in single-player and multiplayer play.
What it does
Ping^2 makes the game act as if the connection has high ping. Actions can lag, mobs may teleport back to a recent spot, and the world can freeze as if the server had dropped. The author describes the effect as a deliberate joke rather than an accurate network model, and notes it was written from scratch.
The server needs the mod, while players may leave it out. Ping^2 is published for NeoForge and targets 1.21.4 only, with version 1.0.0 dated 2025-08-05. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Simulated high ping
Input and world updates are delayed to imitate a slow connection, which is the main effect of the mod.
Teleporting mobs
Mobs can snap back to a spot they occupied a moment earlier, adding a random cursed effect to fights.
Freezing disconnects
The game can freeze as if the server had disconnected, then resume after a short pause.

What the author says
Refunding: No. Not as in refunding the game. It refunds blocks by removing ones you just placed and giving it back to you. Re-mine: You mine a block? How about not!
