BetterPingDisplay

BetterPingDisplay is a minimalist, client-side Fabric mod designed to give you instant feedback on your connection quality. It seamlessly integrates real-time ping indicators into the Minecraft interface, showing you exactly how much latency every player (including yourself) has at any given moment.

🌟 Key Features

  • Tab List Integration: Automatically appends the ping value to every player's name in the player list (Tab).
  • Nametag Support: Displays the ping directly above player heads in the world, so you always know who might be lagging during a fight or interaction.
  • Smart Color-Coding: Uses an intuitive traffic-light system to represent connection quality:

    • 🟢 Green (< 80ms): Smooth gameplay, excellent connection.
    • 🟡 Yellow (80-150ms): Noticeable latency, keep an eye on it.
    • 🔴 Red (> 150ms): High lag, gameplay might be affected.
  • Premium UI Design: Features a neutral white separator (|) to keep the interface clean, while highlighting the actual ping value in its corresponding status color.

🚀 Why BetterPingDisplay?

  • Zero Configuration: Just drop it in and play. No commands, no menus, no fluff.
  • Maximum Performance: Built to be as lightweight as possible. It runs standalone and does not require the Fabric API, reducing memory usage and load times.
  • Version Compatibility: Specifically engineered for the new rendering systems in Minecraft 1.21, but compatible with all versions from 1.21 up to 1.21.11 and beyond.
