Ping View Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I see my own ping in the tab list?
Open your tab list (default: press Tab) and look at your player entry—your ping value will display next to your name using the mod's color coding system. No configuration needed; it works automatically once installed.
What do the different ping colors mean?
The mod uses a color gradient to show latency at a glance: green indicates low ping (good connection), yellow/orange shows moderate ping, and red signals high ping (poor connection). Check the 'Reading Ping Colors in Your Tab List' guide for the exact thresholds.
Can I turn off the ping display for specific players?
The mod displays ping for all players in the tab list and doesn't offer per-player filtering. If you want to hide it entirely, you'd need to uninstall the mod or check if a config file exists in your mod folder.
Does this mod work on servers, or only in single-player?
Ping View Mod works on multiplayer servers and shows other players' latency values. The server doesn't need the mod installed—it only needs to be on your client side.
Why is my ping showing as really high all of a sudden?
High ping usually means network lag or distance from the server. Check your internet connection, close bandwidth-heavy apps, and see the 'Troubleshooting High Ping Values' guide for more steps.
Does this mod affect my FPS or performance?
No, Ping View Mod is lightweight and only reads latency data that's already being sent—it doesn't add noticeable performance overhead.
Can I use this mod in PvP servers?
Yes, and it's actually useful for competitive play. Knowing your ping and opponents' latency helps you understand hit registration and adjust your playstyle—see 'Using Ping Information for PvP and Competitive Play' for tips.
Will this mod work with other mods that modify the tab list?
Ping View Mod is designed to stay close to vanilla, so it should work with most mods, but conflicts with other tab list mods are possible. Test it in your modpack and check for error messages if the tab list looks broken.
How do I know if the ping values are accurate?
The mod reads ping data from the server, which is the same data your client uses for gameplay. If you're experiencing lag in-game, your ping display should reflect that—compare it to other ping checkers if you're unsure.
Can I customize the colors or format of the ping display?
The mod keeps the tab list close to vanilla by design, so customization options are limited or unavailable. The color scheme is fixed to ensure consistency and quick readability.
