About this Mod
About
Modern co-op games often allow players to communicate via "pings" to mark in-game locations.
This simple mod provides such pinging mechanism for the fabric and forge mod loaders.
Default keybind is "Mouse5" aka "Forward" to ping. Hold "Tab" (Player List) to see player names on pings.
The settings can be changed via /pingwheel config or Mod Menu.
Read the Wiki for additional information.
If you are looking to use the mod on Bukkit servers, you can install our official Plugin.
Gallery
The following screenshot shows two pings in different distances with according scale.

Ping Wheel server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Ping Wheel compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
Ping Wheel officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Ping Wheel – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Ping Wheel 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.
