Better Ping

by UltimateGamerMC · on Modrinth

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 26.1–26.1.1Newest
Minecraft 1.21.11
Minecraft 1.21.10
Minecraft 1.21.9

⬇ Download for 26.1–26.1.1 ⬇ Download for 1.21.11 ⬇ Download for 1.21.10 ⬇ Download for 1.21.9

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Better Ping

A continuation of the beloved Better Ping Display mod, updated and maintained for modern Minecraft.

This client-side Fabric mod replaces Minecraft's ambiguous ping bars with actual numerical values, so you always know your exact connection quality at a glance.

Features

See Your Real Ping - Exact millisecond values instead of vague signal bars
Smart Color Coding - Automatic color-coding based on latency (green = smooth, red = laggy)
Fully Customizable - Adjust colors, text format, and display preferences to match your style
Works Everywhere - Client-side only, so it works on any server including vanilla
Zero Bloat - Simple, focused, and lightweight

Why This Mod?

The original Better Ping Display was abandoned, leaving players without support for newer versions. Better Ping continues that legacy, keeping the mod alive and compatible with the latest Minecraft releases while staying true to its core purpose: giving you clear visibility of your connection.

Easy Configuration

Customize everything through betterpingdisplay.json:

Toggle automatic color-coding
Show or hide original ping bars
Set custom text colors
Define your own format (e.g., %dms, %d ping)

Supported Versions

1.21.9+1.21.10

Original Mod: Better Ping Display - Fabric

Requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API
