Ping to Map
Pop a temporary JourneyMap waypoint when someone pings a spot with Ping-Wheel.
You ping "come here!" with Ping-Wheel, but it never shows on the map — so for big builds people still can't find the spot. This addon drops a temporary JourneyMap waypoint the instant a ping happens, and clears it after ~30 seconds so the map stays tidy.
- 📍 Instant temporary JM waypoint on every ping (cyan, or the pinger's team colour)
- 🤝 Made for co-op — "rally point", "enemy spotted", "mine here" become visible at a glance
- 🕒 Auto-expires in 30 s (configurable 1–600 s, or fully persistent)
- 🌐 Client-side only — no need to install it on the server
- 💡 Pure addon — depends on Ping-Wheel + JourneyMap you already have; no items/blocks
How it works
Ping-Wheel has no public API, so this mod uses a Mixin (@Inject(at = @At("HEAD"))) on Ping-Wheel's ping handler to read the pinged coordinates + author, and forwards them to JourneyMap's waypoint API. Ping-Wheel's own behaviour is never interrupted. Inner-class isolation means it never crashes if JourneyMap is absent.
Supported loaders / versions
| Minecraft | NeoForge | Forge | Fabric |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.21.1 | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ chat-only |
| 1.20.1 | — | ✅ | ⚠️ chat-only |
- ✅ = full JourneyMap integration · ⚠️ chat-only = JM integration disabled, ping received only · — = NeoForge has no 1.20.1
Configuration
config/pingtomap-client.toml (or the Mod Config GUI on NeoForge/Forge):
| Key | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
feature.enabled |
true | Master switch |
feature.registerOwnPings |
true | Also waypoint your own pings (false = teammates' pings only) |
appearance.waypointLifetimeSec |
30 | Seconds the waypoint stays (-1 = permanent) |
appearance.useTeamColor |
true | Use vanilla scoreboard team colour (false = fixed cyan) |
Compatibility
| Mod | Support | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Ping-Wheel | required | Mixin target |
| JourneyMap | optional (CLIENT only) | Waypoint target; silently ignored if absent |
| Voice Chat mods (Plasmo, etc.) | unaffected | Ping-Wheel coexists with them, so does this |
| Xaero's Minimap / Worldmap | not supported | Xaero has no public API |
Known limitations
Fabric builds — JourneyMap integration disabled. On the 1.20.1 / 1.21.1 Fabric builds, the Ping-Wheel Mixin hook works but the JM registration call is skipped (Loom 1.14, required by the JM Fabric jar, is unreleased). A reflection-bridge workaround is planned. No NeoForge 1.20.1 build — use Forge 1.20.1 for 1.20.1.
