Description
TeamPings
Lightweight, ephemeral pings for your FTB Teams party. Look at a block, press G, and everyone in your party instantly sees a colored beacon column, a pulsing ground ring and a HUD entry with distance and direction. Pings are purely visual, expire after 30 seconds and leave nothing behind - no maps, no persistent markers, no UI clutter.
Features
- One-key pinging - press G on the block you are looking at (up to 512 blocks reach)
- Your color, your pings - pick a personal ping color from the built-in palette with the B key, or set any color in the config; teammates see your pings in your color
- Beacon beam + ground ring - a tall translucent beam and a pulsing disc make the spot easy to find from far away
- HUD list - active pings with sender name, distance and a direction arrow
- Team-aware - pings go only to your FTB party; MEMBER rank or higher can ping
- Server-authoritative - the server validates team, rank and dimension; clients never talk to each other
- Ephemeral by design - 30 second lifetime, nothing is saved to disk
