Ping for it!
by void_deer
Ping for it! lets players mark a target in the world with a temporary ping that other players on a server can see, and it works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Holding the ping key over a block, item, entity, container or location places a marker that stays visible for a short time. The ping can carry a type, and the mod displays labels for what was marked, arrows that point toward off-screen targets, team-tinted markers and sounds placed in space. Entities and blocks get colored outlines that fit with vanilla glowing, and non-full blocks get outlines too. Messages are localized.
Mouse Button 5 is the key assigned to pings by default, and players can rebind it in the Controls menu. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Ping for it! is published for 1.21 and 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the MIT License. It is a fork of Ping Wheel and uses its own network protocol, so both mods cannot be installed together.
Key features
Target-aware pings
A ping can mark items, entities, blocks, containers or locations, depending on what the player points at.
Ping types and outlines
Several ping types are available, and entities and blocks receive colored outlines that match vanilla glowing.
Long-press compatibility mode
An optional mode treats a held button as a rapid sequence, so one press places a ping and extra clicks are blocked locally to stop ping spam.
Rate limiting and channel controls
Pings are rate limited, and channel controls let players choose how pings are shared.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who play with others on a server and want a quick way to show what deserves attention. Server owners who want to install a shared ping system on Fabric, Forge or NeoForge will also find it useful, since the server and the client both run it.
