Red Ping

A tiny resource pack that recolors the server list ping/latency bars from green to red.

Instead of green bars filling in as your connection improves, you get a bold red gradient — a cleaner look if you want your HUD to lean into a red/dark theme, or just don’t like the green.

Features

• Recolors all 5 signal-strength icons (ping_1–ping_5) in the multiplayer server list
• Includes the “unresponsive” (X) icon
• Every version supported — ships both the legacy gui/icons.png atlas (pre-1.20.2) and the modern individual sprite files (1.20.2+), so one download works whether you’re on old or current Minecraft
• No other textures touched — hearts, hunger, XP bar, and everything else stay vanilla

Installation

1. Download the file below
2. Drop it into your resourcepacks folder (Options > Resource Packs > Open Pack Folder)
3. Enable it in-game

⚠️ “Incompatible” warning? Don’t worry!

If Minecraft shows a red “this pack is made for an older/newer version” message, just click through it and enable the pack anyway — it still works perfectly fine. That warning just means the pack’s version number doesn’t exactly match your game’s, but since this pack only touches simple texture files, it loads correctly regardless.

Compatibility

Works on Java Edition from the early resource-pack era through the latest release.
