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.
