Better Ping Display Renewed

Modern version of the mod that adds a numerical ping display to the player list

Better Ping Display

Replace generic network icons with precise, numerical latency values right in your multiplayer tab list.

Overview

Tired of guessing connection stability using default signal bars? Better Ping Display upgrades your Minecraft player roster by outputting exact millisecond (ms) measurements for every player on the server.

Client-Side Only: Operates entirely on your end. No server-side installations or permissions required—works seamlessly on vanilla servers.
Looking for Forge? A dedicated Forge/NeoForge version is also available separately.

Key Features

Dynamic Color Coding: Latency colors auto-adjust based on performance (e.g., green for smooth low latency, red for high lag).
Customizable Text Formats: Modify how ping values are rendered to fit your preferred aesthetic.
Optional Stock Icons: Choose whether to display the classic Minecraft signal bars alongside the text numbers or hide them entirely.
In-Game Menu Integration: Supports graphical configuration in-game when paired with Mod Menu and Yet Another Config Lib (YACL).

Configuration Settings

Settings can be adjusted directly via the betterpingdisplay.json config file or through an in-game GUI.

Setting	Default	Function
`autoColorPingText`	`true`	Dynamically changes text color from green (low latency) to red (high latency).
`renderPingBars`	`false`	Toggles the visibility of the original vanilla signal strength bars.
`pingTextColor`	`#A0A0A0`	Defines a static hex color for the ping text (active only if `autoColorPingText` is set to `false`).
`pingTextFormatString`	`%dms`	Sets the visual layout for latency numbers. The `%d` placeholder is replaced by the actual millisecond value.
