About this Mod
PingItems
Point out items in containers to your teammates - instantly.
Ever dug through a chest trying to describe where something is? PingItems lets you middle-click any item in a container and ping it - your teammates see a highlight on the item and a glowing outline on the chest in the world.
Features
- Middle-click to ping any item in a chest, barrel, or other container
- Slot highlight - the exact slot you pinged lights up with a gold outline for everyone
- World outline - a glowing box appears around the container in the world so teammates can find it from a distance
- HUD icon - a container icon floats above the block on screen when you're not looking at it directly
- Multi-ping - ping up to 5 items at once; pings expire after 10 seconds
- Color picker - choose your ping color in the mod settings
- Channel system - filter pings by channel so large servers stay organized
- Configurable keybind - rebind the ping key in Options → Controls → Key Binds under the PingItems category
How to use
- Open any container (chest, barrel, etc.)
- Hover over an item
