Ping
Inspired by Portal 2, this mod brings the Ping tool into Minecraft
This mod attempts to replicate that feature in a useful way, but ensure it actually has use in the Minecraft world.
Use:
Using Ping is incredibly simple. Both the server and client must have it installed (though clients without it will still be able to play, they just won't receive Pings). To send a Ping, simply hold down the F (V as of 1.9) key, and select a ping type by either mousing over it and releasing F (V as of 1.9), or by clicking on it. A Ping will then be sent to everyone in the current dimension who has 1) Chosen to receive Pings, and 2) Is in range of your Ping.(range can be modified in the config file). If a Ping is offscreen, a small icon will render on the side of your screen, pointing to it.
Modpack permissions
Feel free to use Ping in any kind of modpack, as long as you link back to this page and don’t make any money of the modpack.

There is a config option for it. It's called "pingDistance" or something along those lines. I think the default is 64.

Tnx, but it's AcceptDistance. I' m interested in sending range. Coz 50 blocks is too small range

I changed some .java files, but the maximum range i could reach is 190. Why?

Posted Mar 19, 2019does this mod require the server to be running some kind of rift server jar or forge server jar or can this go straight into the plugins folder?

It's a Forge mod, so you need Forge and Ping on the server side.

Posted Apr 2, 2018for whatever reason, using ver 1.4.3 causes my server to hang on world load and never start without a crash report, reverting to the last version rectifies this

As it should say in your console, you can use the command: /fml confirm - and that will let the server continue starting up :)

Posted Nov 5, 2017Great mod!
Plus it works really well with hardcore revival so a sound goes off and a ping appears (which is really intuitive at pointing in the direction of your teammate no matter where you are looking)

I can't tell you how many times I've tried to teach friends about Tinker's Construct and been frustrated I couldn't ping a block. "Now, click on the part builder. That's this one over here. No, that's... you're in front of the stencil table. the part builder is over here. No, that's the tool station. Look, it's the one I'm jumping on. Over here. I'm behind you, turn around. No, that's... Augh!"

Posted Nov 22, 2016Great mod that I used in a lot of situations back in 1.8, and I rediscovered it recently due to a little pack with my friends in 1.11.
Is it possible to add a hotkey for each of the 4 pings? They could be empty by default, but whoever wants to bind them for instant access could to it. This becomes useful for faster communication, especially when you are also talking in real time with a VoIP service.

Posted Oct 23, 2016i play virtually exclusively in single player. if i'm understanding correctly, this is used to send information to other players. is there a feature or function of this mod that would be useful in single player?
