Fast Server Pings Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I enable the mod after installing it?
The mod works automatically once installed—no configuration needed. Open your multiplayer menu and you'll immediately see faster server pinging compared to vanilla Minecraft.
Why does my server list still show old status while loading?
This is intentional. The mod displays your last known server status instantly while it checks for updates in the background, so you're never staring at a blank list.
Can I use this mod with other server-related mods?
Yes, this mod is designed to replace older ping-fix mods since it includes those optimizations built-in. Avoid running multiple ping mods together as they may conflict.
Does this mod work with hundreds of saved servers?
Yes, that's one of its main strengths. The mod pings all servers simultaneously instead of one-by-one, making large server lists much more responsive.
Why doesn't the multiplayer menu freeze anymore when I refresh?
The mod moves server pinging to the background instead of blocking your menu interaction, so you can browse or edit servers while it updates status information.
What happens if a server doesn't respond to the ping?
The mod will show your last known status for that server while waiting. If it times out, the server will display as offline until the next successful ping.
Does this mod reduce my internet usage?
No, it doesn't change how many pings are sent—it just sends them all at once instead of waiting between each one, making the process faster but not lighter on bandwidth.
Can I turn off background pinging if I want?
The mod doesn't have a disable option, but you can simply avoid clicking the refresh button if you prefer not to update server statuses.
Will this mod work on servers that block rapid pings?
Most servers handle simultaneous pings fine, but some with strict rate-limiting may temporarily not respond. They'll recover on the next refresh cycle.
Does this mod affect single-player or LAN worlds?
No, this mod only affects the multiplayer server list menu. Single-player and LAN games are unaffected.
