Description

Ping-a Thing

A Fabric mod for Minecraft that lets you ping dropped items on the ground to point them out to other players.

Items are pinged on the ground, showing: quantity, distance in meters and the icon head for the player that pinged it

Features

Core

  • Item Ping: Aim at a ground item and press middle mouse button (configurable) to place a 3D ping on it.
  • In-world Rendering: Pings appear as floating icons showing the item sprite and optionally the pinging player's head.
  • HUD List: Active pings are listed on-screen for quick reference.
  • Auto-expiration: Pings disappear after a configurable duration (default: 20 seconds / 400 ticks).

Multiplayer

  • Custom Network Packets: Uses Fabric networking for server-side sync when the mod is installed server-side.
  • Chat Relay Fallback: If the server lacks the mod, pings are broadcast via a chat prefix ([SM_PING]) and parsed by other clients.
