Player Ping Display
by Badeye
Player Ping Display is a Fabric client-side mod that shows the ping of a player after the player has been hit, on the HUD.
What it does
After a player attacks another player, the targeted player's live ping appears on the HUD for five seconds and refreshes while it stays visible. The value is shown in a tooltip that updates as the ping changes, and each reading is colored by range: 0-49 ms, 50-99 ms, 100-199 ms and 200+ ms each have their own color. The HUD position can be changed in the config screen.
The mod only needs to be installed on the client, so only the player who wants the display runs it, and servers do not need anything. Builds are published for Fabric across 10 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, and are released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the mod open source. The source code and an issue tracker are public.
Some PvP servers, such as MCPvP, use a custom ping calculation, and on those servers the displayed number can differ from the tab list. The author notes that switching the Ping Mode is the first thing to try when the value looks wrong, and that more accurate handling for such servers is planned for the future. Credits for the porting work go to LordKin.
