    title says it all, possibly a command that tells you it or as redstone told me about the plugin that puts it in the tab menu.

    Or you can take a ping test in browser or some clients do this for you aswell.

    I'm overall neutral on the matter. Players are able to check their ping using different Minecraft clients/external ping checking methods, so it isn't a feature that is needed.

    I'm sure many players would like to easily know their ping when playing to help figure out where their issues are coming in. I know many modern games, or at least ones that I play provide exact numbers for a player's ping, which many people have grown accustomed to. In-game ping reporting is generally a decent bit off on Minecraft, though, usually around 2 times higher than what your actual ping is. This can get slightly misleading, as a player who's true ping is around 40-50 could be reporting at upwards of 100 or higher from in-game reporting.

    Here's some screenshots from Mineverse, where they show the ping in the tab menu. I also showed my ping as reported by console commands to compare. My Mineverse ping was generally showing up between 50-80, while my console ping generally gave a range of 30-36.
