Customizing the Ping Icon

Jump to bottom

As of version 1.5 of Ping Wheel, the default ping icon can be changed with resource packs.
To achieve this, your resource pack can provide an image for ping-wheel/textures/ping.png, which might look like this:

Example Resource Pack/
├─ pack.mcmeta
├─ assets/
│  ├─ ping-wheel/
│  │  ├─ textures/
│  │  │  ├─ ping.png

Important Notes

  • Ping Wheel version 1.5 or higher
  • Aspect ratios other than 1:1 (square) will result in a stretched texture
  • We recommend using 16x16 textures for least distorted results at distance
  • It is best practice to only use the border of your texture for outlines and not for the icon itself

Example Texture

This is what a custom icon could look like in-game:

ping_screenshot

The image we used above can be found here → ping ← (16x16 icon)
As you can see below, the ping icon does not fill out the whole canvas to allow for an outline:
