Pinging a Minecraft server allows users to assess its responsiveness and latency. It involves sending a small packet of data to the server and measuring the time it takes to receive a response. It helps determine whether the server is online and gauges its communication speed, which can help identify potential server lag and issues.
Note: Players may experience latency lag with a ping higher than
190ms.

Step 4. Fill in the server details, then select Done.
Step 5. Once added, click on Refresh. Wait a few seconds.
Step 6. Hover over the bars next to the server player count to see the ping.
