Better Ping Display Remake Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I see ping numbers instead of bars in the tab list?
The mod displays ping as numbers by default when installed. If you still see bars, open your config file and set renderPingBars to false to hide the vanilla signal bars completely.
Why is my ping text not changing color based on connection speed?
Check that autoColorPingText is enabled in your config. If it's already on, make sure you're not overriding it with a fixed pingTextColor setting, which takes priority over automatic coloring.
Can I use this mod on vanilla servers?
Yes, this mod runs entirely on the client side, so you can join any vanilla server and see ping numbers without the server needing to install anything.
How do I add a prefix tag like [BPD+] before my name?
Enable showSelfPrefix in your config file, then customize the prefix text in the pingTextFormatString setting to display your desired tag before your username.
What does the pingTextFormatString setting do?
This setting controls how ping numbers appear in the tab list; use %d as a placeholder for the actual ping value in milliseconds, and add any text around it for custom formatting.
Player heads aren't showing next to names—how do I fix this?
Make sure showPlayersHead is set to true in your config file. If heads still don't appear, try relogging or restarting your game to refresh the player data.
Does this mod affect server performance or other players?
No, the mod only changes what you see on your client and doesn't send any data to the server or affect other players' games.
Can I change the color of ping text to a specific color I want?
Yes, disable autoColorPingText and set pingTextColor to your desired color value in the config to use a fixed color instead of dynamic green-to-red coloring.
How do I keep my own name at the top of the player list?
Enable prioritizeSelfInTabList in your config to pin your username to the top of the tab list for quick reference.
What font options are available for the tab list?
The mod provides several custom font choices through the tabFont setting; check your config file or in-game menu to see which font styles are available and select the one you prefer.
