IP Pinger
by pfyya
IP Pinger shows the address and round-trip latency of a multiplayer server in chat as soon as a player joins it.
What it does
On joining a multiplayer server, the chat prints the server address and port along with a live ping measurement in milliseconds. Each line is colored so the connection details stand out from ordinary chat. The output is a plain text readout, for example a server address of 192.168.1.100:25565 followed by a ping of 45 ms.
Only the client needs the mod, so a server does not have to install anything and players can join servers that run without it. The mod is written for Fabric and has files for Minecraft 1.21.4 – 1.21.10, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.10 as the latest build. It is released under the MIT License but is not open source. A server that wants the same readout still has to be reached by players who have the mod installed.
Key features
Automatic join readout
Connection details are printed to chat without a command each time the player enters a multiplayer server.
Live ping measurement
Latency is measured in real time and shown in milliseconds, so changes in connection quality are visible while playing.
Color-coded chat lines
Connection messages use colored formatting to separate them from other chat text.
Address and port display
The chat line lists the full server address with its port, so the exact target of the connection is recorded.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Checking a connection
A player who suspects lag can read the current ping in chat without opening a menu or a debug screen.
Confirming the target server
The address and port in the chat line show which server a player has joined, which helps when switching between several.
Who it’s for: Players who join several multiplayer servers and want the address and latency printed in chat each time they connect. The mod is a client mod, so it is useful to players rather than to server owners.
