Better Ping Display Mod is mod for Minecraft to display each player’s ping in the player list as a number. There is also a config file for changing the text color and format. This is a client-side mod. The server doesn’t need to have it installed. It works even when playing on vanilla servers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on ping numbers in the player list?

Just install the mod and open the player list (Tab by default) — ping numbers appear automatically next to each player's name. There's no toggle needed to enable the numbers themselves; only the extra options like ping bars and auto colors are configurable.

Why do I still see the vanilla ping bars instead of numbers?

The mod draws numbers by default and hides the bars, so if you see bars, check that renderPingBars isn't set to true in betterpingdisplay.json. Setting it to false restores the number-only display.

Can I show both the ping number and the vanilla ping bars at the same time?

Yes — set renderPingBars to true in the config file. The mod will then draw the default Minecraft bars alongside the numeric ping.

How do I change the color of the ping text?

Edit pingTextColor in betterpingdisplay.json and set it to a hex color value. This only applies when autoColorPingText is false, since auto coloring overrides the fixed color.
