About this Mod
Client Ping
Client Ping is a client-side Minecraft mod that implements "pinging" (marking an object as a point of interest) on vanilla servers.
Usage
By default, Client Ping uses the z key to ping the block you are looking at (within 1000m). You can change this key bind in the Minecraft controls menu.
Pings will be visible for a short time to yourself and all players on the same server with this mod installed.
- Pings disappear after 10 seconds (configurable through Mod Menu)
- You may ping once per second
How it works
Client Ping works by sending pings through vanilla server chat. This way, even players without the mod installed can see the coordinate you have pinged. No more copying from the F3 menu!
Chat messages come in the following format:
<Player> Ping at {x.xx, y.yy, z.zz}
When a client receives and parses one of these ping messages, a temporary waypoint is injected into Xaero's Minimap. This allows the ping mark to be rendered on screen according to your existing waypoint rendering settings. It'll also be marked on your map if you have Xaero's World Map installed.

Client Ping server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong quilt version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Client Ping compatible with quilt?
Client Ping officially supports quilt for Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.20, 1.19.4. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Client Ping – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Client Ping consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
