PingTag
by Zuxt
PingTag adds a second line of text above player nametags that shows each player's ping in milliseconds, for Fabric clients on 26.1.2.
What it does
Each nametag can show a second label under the username with the ping value in milliseconds. The line is colored from the ping itself, so a fast connection and a slow one read differently at a glance. Players can switch the ping label off entirely, and the display can be limited to the ping alone, without any extra text.
Non-player entities such as fake players and bots can be filtered out, so only real players get a ping label. The label can be hidden while a player is sneaking, which keeps the vanilla sneak behavior, and a zero ping can be left blank. Prefix and suffix text can be placed before and after the number.
PingTag is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it alone. It requires YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), which provides the settings screen. Settings are saved to a config file in the minecraft config folder as pingtag config.json. Files are released for Fabric only, with 1.2.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest build. The source code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
