Reach Ping
by Frogman34000
Reach Ping plays a sound when the player lands a hit on another player from three blocks away, helping players judge PvP spacing.
What it does
Reach Ping plays a sound effect each time the player hits someone from up to three blocks away, so the hit registers audibly at the edge of reach. It is a client-side mod for Fabric, and only the player who installs it needs it; the server and other players can run without it. Players can switch the sound on or off, change its volume, and set it to play only for their own hits, all from the mod's config menu.
The mod is meant to help players learn the spacing that works in PvP fights by making the three-block distance clear to hear. A list of the available sounds can be viewed in the config, and a fail sound for missed hits is included from version 1.1. Builds cover 1.21.11 and 26.1, and the latest file targets 26.1, published 2026-03-30 under All rights reserved. The author notes that custom sounds are planned for a later release, and that for now only Minecraft's own sounds are available.
Key features
Hit sound at three blocks
A sound plays when the player hits another player from three blocks away, which marks the limit of the attack range.
Adjustable volume and toggles
The volume can be turned up or down, and the hit sound can be turned off entirely from the config menu.
Only player hits
A setting limits the sound to hits the player lands, so other players' attacks stay silent.

Use cases
Practicing PvP spacing
A player who wants to learn how far to stand from an opponent can rely on the sound to tell when a hit lands at full reach.
Who it’s for: Players who fight other players in survival or on multiplayer servers and want audible feedback on their hit distance. Because it is client-side only, it needs no setup on the server.
