About this Mod

Ping It! — Title

Ping It! is a utility mod that introduces a convenient pinging and marking system to Minecraft. It allows players on a server to easily point out locations, blocks, containers, items, and entities to each other without using chat or voice communication.

Key Features

  • Quick World Pings: Place markers on block coordinates, ores, mobs, and dropped items instantly by pressing the hotkey (default: V). Hostile mobs are highlighted as danger, and blocks like signs have their text displayed on the ping card. Pinging fluids is also supported.

  • Interactive Radial Menu: Hold down the hotkey (default: V) to open a wheel selection where you can select the ping type (Look, Alert, Danger) or choose from a customizable pool of quick chat phrases.

  • Container Inventory Pings: Press the hotkey (default: V) while hovering over slot items inside chests, hoppers, or your player inventory to cycle between different alert types (Look, Alert, Danger) and share the item details.

  • Smart Raycasting: Raycasts automatically ignore grass, flowers, and vines. You can configure the mod to ignore glass, torches, and barrier blocks.

  • Waypoint Routes (in beta): Connect multiple coordinates into a custom route to guide your team through cave systems or build areas. Press the route key (default: B) to start and publish routes.

  • Creative Teleportation: Creative and spectator mode players can middle-click an active ping on their screen to teleport safely to its location.

  • Top Compass HUD(our flagman feature): A horizontal compass bar showing direction headings and nearby ping markers...

  • Off-screen Indicators: Arrow, sonar, and distance indicators at screen edges for pings outside your field of view.

  • And Much More!

How to Use

  • Press Key: Send a quick ping at your crosshair.
  • Hold Key: Open the radial menu to select a specific ping type, customize labels, or choose a quick chat phrase.
  • Press Key on Container Slot: Highlights the specific item in the chest or inventory slot.

Configuration

Almost every aspect of the mod is fully customizable to suit your gameplay preferences. The mod features a fully translated, comprehensive configuration screen, with presets, UI styles (including Vanilla-style (20/80) HUD), color adjustments, block outlines, fading options, and distance-based sound volume falloff.

This mod works fully client-side when playing on vanilla servers (only you will see your pings), but will synchronize with other players if installed on the server.
