Frequently asked questions

How do I ping something?
Look directly at a block, mob, or dropped item and use the /ping command or press the ping hotkey (if you have the client mod installed). The marker will appear at that location and broadcast to nearby players.
Do my teammates need to install the mod to see my pings?
No—the mod works entirely on the server side, so teammates will see your markers and chat messages without installing anything. Installing the client mod on their end just gives them access to the hotkey for faster pinging.
Why can't I ping anything?
Check if you're within the ping range limit (configurable by the server operator) and if you've waited long enough since your last ping—there's a cooldown between pings. If markers aren't showing up at all, ask your server admin to run /vanillapings removeOld to clear stuck markers.
How do I know where a ping is if I can't see it?
The action bar will display a direction hint pointing you toward active markers within a certain distance. Chat messages also print the exact coordinates of the ping, so you can navigate there directly.
