Pings Mod Overview
This mod introduces block marking functionality inspired by Satisfactory, allowing players to highlight objects for other participants. Marker visualization adapts depending on your distance to the marked location - both your own and those created by other players.
Close Range Mode: When in immediate proximity to a marker, a block outline is displayed. The switching distance between modes can be configured in client settings.
Long Range Mode: At a distance from the marker, the visualization changes to a colored beacon-like beam, ensuring good visibility even over long ranges.
Configuration and Customization
Client Settings
Users can tailor the appearance to their preferences:
- Color selection for personal markers

Server administrators can restrict marker system usage:

Development Prospects
The modification has open source code - anyone can contribute to its development. Future updates will depend on community feedback. Integration with map mods for displaying markers on the minimap is planned, though this functionality is currently in development phase.
