Ping Name Tags Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I see ping numbers above player names?
The mod displays ping automatically once installed—you'll see millisecond values appear next to every player's nametag in your field of view. If you don't see them, check that the mod is enabled in your mods folder and that you're on a multiplayer server.
Can I hide the ping tags for specific players?
You can configure which players' ping displays through the mod's settings, though the exact filtering options depend on your mod version—check the config file or in-game settings menu for player-specific visibility toggles.
What do the different ping colors mean?
Ping tags typically use color coding to show connection quality at a glance—green usually indicates good ping, yellow is moderate, and red signals high latency—but you can customize these color thresholds in the mod's configuration.
Does this mod work on single-player worlds?
No, the mod only displays ping on multiplayer servers since single-player has no network latency to measure.
Can I change the size or position of the ping numbers?
Yes, most ping display settings including text size, offset distance from nametags, and transparency can be adjusted through the mod's configuration file or settings menu.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is lightweight and should have minimal performance impact, though displaying many players' ping simultaneously in crowded servers may have a negligible effect depending on your hardware.
Does ping affect my PvP performance or is it just information?
Ping is purely informational—it shows your latency to the server but doesn't change your actual connection speed; however, knowing other players' ping can help you understand combat delays and adjust your strategy accordingly.
Why do some players' ping numbers disappear or update slowly?
Ping updates based on server tick rate and network packets, so occasional gaps or delays are normal; if ping consistently fails to display for certain players, they may be out of render distance or there's a mod compatibility issue.
Can I disable the mod without uninstalling it?
Yes, you can disable the mod through your mod loader's configuration or by temporarily removing it from your mods folder—most mod launchers allow you to toggle mods on and off without deletion.
Does this mod work with other HUD or player-tracking mods?
The mod should be compatible with most HUD mods, but conflicts can occur if multiple mods try to modify nametag rendering—if you experience issues, check mod compatibility lists or adjust the rendering priority in your config.
