SproutPing
Sick of trying to get your friend's attention while they're deep in a chest, lost in chat, or completely ignoring your clearly very important message? SproutPing is a lightweight, easy-to-use plugin that lets players ping each other with a clear message and sound, all controlled through simple permissions.
Features
Player pinging - Send another online player a quick ping so they actually notice you.
Permission-based access - Control who can use pings, toggles, cooldown tools, and admin commands.
Toggle pings - Let players choose whether they want to receive pings.
Cooldown support - Prevent ping spam with a configurable cooldown.
Customisable sound - Choose the ping sound, volume, and pitch in the config.
PlaceholderAPI support - Includes placeholders for cooldown and ping toggle status.
Lightweight - Simple, focused, and easy on your server.
How Does It Work?

The target player receives a message and sound so they know someone is trying to get their attention.
