PingDisplay
by Fix85
PingDisplay shows each player's connection latency in the Tab list, above player heads and on nametags, using color-coded ping values.
What it does
Installed on a client, PingDisplay appends a numeric ping value after each player name in the Tab player list. Ping values are colored by latency: a connection under 80 ms reads as excellent, 80 to 150 ms as moderate, and 150 ms or more as high latency. The same display can also appear above each player's head as a nametag, so the latency of nearby players is visible while moving around the world.
The mod is a Fabric client-side mod, so only the client needs it; servers run without it and players join without installing anything. Files cover Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8 and 1.21.11, with the latest build, 1.0.0-mc1.21.8, published for 1.21.8 on 2026-05-26. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
PingDisplay is published for Fabric only, with no Forge or NeoForge builds. Players on a Fabric client who want latency information without leaving the game can use it directly on any of the listed game versions.
Key features
Tab list ping
A numeric ping value follows each player name in the Tab overlay, so latency for the whole server is visible at once.
Nametag ping
Each nearby player's latency appears above their head, giving the ping of the people around the player's position.
Color-coded status
Ping values change color by latency band: excellent under 80 ms, moderate from 80 to 150 ms, and high from 150 ms upward.

Use cases
Checking a server during play
A player can spot a laggy connection in the Tab list before it affects a fight or a build.
Spotting lag among nearby players
Nametag values show which nearby player has a slow connection, without opening the Tab list.
Who it’s for: Players on a Fabric client who want latency shown in the Tab list or above player heads. Server owners need nothing, since the mod runs only on the client.
