Tab Ping Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I see ping in the tab list?
Press Tab while in-game on a server to open the player list screen. With Tab Ping Mod installed, you'll see each player's ping value displayed next to their name in milliseconds.
Why is my ping so high?
High ping is usually caused by distance from the server, network congestion, or your internet connection quality. Check your connection stability and try connecting to a server closer to your location.
Can I see my own ping?
Yes, your ping will appear next to your own name in the tab player list just like other players' pings, so you can monitor your own connection quality.
Does this mod work on single-player worlds?
No, ping only applies to multiplayer servers since single-player has no network connection. The mod is designed for server gameplay where latency matters.
How do I use ping information for PvP?
Players with higher ping have more server delay, so they'll react slower to your attacks. You can use this to time surprise attacks or predict where they actually are versus where they appear on your screen.
Does this mod affect my FPS or performance?
Tab Ping Mod is lightweight and only displays information already sent by the server, so it has negligible impact on your frame rate or game performance.
Why do ping numbers keep changing?
Ping fluctuates based on real-time network conditions like traffic and connection stability. Watching ping changes can help you identify when your connection is unstable.
Can I hide ping values from other players?
No, ping is server-side information that all clients with the mod can see. The server itself determines whether ping is visible to players.
What ping is considered good for PvP?
Lower ping is always better for PvP, but playable ping depends on the server and game mode. Most players find sub-100ms acceptable, though competitive play benefits from sub-50ms.
Does this mod work with other mods?
Tab Ping Mod is compatible with most mods since it only modifies the tab player list display. If you experience conflicts, check that you're using versions compatible with your Minecraft version.
