Ping It!
by Stroopwafels
Ping It! lets players mark a block, mob, item, player or container on the screen so teammates can see the spot.
What it does
A tap of the ping key marks whatever the player is looking at, and holding the key opens a radial menu for choosing a ping type. Pings can point at blocks, entities, items, containers and other players, and containers can be opened to share their contents as a ping card. Off-screen markers show the direction of a ping, and an optional compass or sonar wave can point toward it.
The mod is built for shared play, where teammates need a quick way to mark locations without stopping to type in chat. A server-side component checks each target, limits ping lifetime and merges duplicate pings, so every player sees the same markers. Each player keeps personal settings on their own machine, and either side can run the mod, while neither needs it. Ping It! is released under the Apache License 2.0, but it is not open source. Fabric API is required on every loader it targets, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2.
Key features
Quick pings
A single tap of the ping key marks the block, mob, item or player under the crosshair.
Radial communication
Holding the ping key opens a menu of ping types, with a classic style also available.
Container inventory pings
Containers such as chests, hoppers and barrels can be opened from a ping and their contents shared.
Readable ping cards
Detailed, compact or adaptive cards display what each ping refers to, and sounds and colors can be set separately.
Off-screen guidance
Markers stay visible at the screen edge when the target is out of view, with an optional compass or sonar wave.
