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.
