What Fast IP Ping works with.
| Platform | Java Edition |
|---|---|
| Loaders | Fabric, Forge, NeoForge |
| Minecraft versions | 1.14.4, 1.16.5, 1.17.1, 1.18.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.11, 26.1.2, 26.2, 26.3 |
| Environment | Client |
Fast IP Ping is a client-side Minecraft Java mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge that cuts the slow reverse DNS lookup for servers saved by literal IP address. It was extracted from the yeetServerIpReversedDnsLookup option in TweakerMore, and it needs no other mods.
Loaders and versions
- Fabric: Minecraft 1.14.4 to 26.3. The newest build needs no dependencies.
- Forge: Minecraft 1.15.2 to 26.3. The newest build needs no dependencies.
- NeoForge: Minecraft 1.20.5 to 26.3. The newest build needs no dependencies.
What it changes
A server entered as a bare IP, such as 192.168.2.10:25565, makes Java run a reverse DNS lookup on the address. Many non-loopback IPs have no domain name attached, so that lookup stalls. The mod sets the host name straight to the IP and bypasses the check.
- Pinging the server from the multiplayer list screen
- Connecting to the server
- A saving of roughly 1 to 5 seconds for each literal-IP server
Installation
- 1.Install the loader that matches your Minecraft release, using the guide for Fabric or Forge and NeoForge.
- 2.Place the mod file for that loader in the mods folder of your game directory.
- 3.Launch the loader profile and add a server by its raw IP address.
- 4.Open the multiplayer list and watch the ping resolve without the old delay.
Questions about Fast IP Ping.
3 questions
What does Fast IP Ping do?
It disables the reverse DNS lookup that Java performs on servers whose address is a literal IP. Many such addresses have no domain name, so the lookup is slow. Skipping it trims roughly 1 to 5 seconds from pinging in the server list and from connecting.
Does Fast IP Ping work on a multiplayer server?
No. It is a client-side mod and server use is unsupported. Install it on the player's machine, where it speeds up pinging and joining servers that you saved by raw IP address. A server's mods folder does not need it.
Which mod loaders does Fast IP Ping support?
It supports Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Each loader has its own mod file, so pick the one matching your loader and Minecraft release. No extra mods or libraries are required for any of them.
