Ping Wheel
Ping Wheel (pingwheel, Luken, v1.12.1) brings the “ping” callout mechanic from games like Apex Legends or Deep Rock Galactic into Minecraft — a radial wheel lets you mark a location, item, or danger for your whole party to see as a waypoint, without needing to type in chat. The server’s config/pingwheel.server.json sets playerTrackingEnabled: true and a modest anti-spam limit (rateLimit: 5, msToRegenerate: 1000 — 5 pings banked, regenerating one per second), while config/pingwheel.json tunes the client visuals: pings last 7 seconds, render up to 400 blocks away, and raycast out to 1024 blocks to find what you’re pointing at. It also ships an optional Simple Voice Chat integration entrypoint, though that mod isn’t installed in this pack.
