Ping! is a pretty simple mod. It makes the client play a short sound every time your name is mentioned in chat, kinda like many IRC clients. You can read more about it on the wiki.
Source code and issue tracking is available on GitHub
Here'sa history lesson for you: The mod began as an experimental project in writing some code in the Kotlin language. However, since Forgelin is only available for 1.8+, and I couldn't get a backport working, it was quickly rewritten in Java. Thankfully, Java and Kotlin code is almost identical syntax-wise. There's your history of the mod. You can see how a mod would look like if it were written in Kotlin in the commit history on GitHub.
hi there! i installed this mod today and it works perfectly while in single-player (sound, name is colored, etc), but on our local multi-player server, i cannot hear anything when my husband types my name in chat. are there any pre-requisites? mod is only installed client-side and we're on 1.7.10 with Forge 1558. thanks in advance!

altho i don't intend to use it (I don't use mods in 1.9, only 1.7.10, and i don't play multiplayer in 1.7), I can see many uses for this. Like a server owner, when he/she is just hanging around and a player asks him or her a question. For the dark side like griefers (i'm not a griefer), you can hear people complain about you and what you did XD

it's just me & my hubs that play on our server and whenever i join, i would tell him later, "you never said hi back to me!" and he says, "i don't notice what goes on in chat!" and if he's in a crafting screen or GUI, he can't see what's being said in chat either... so i thought i would look for something audible to let him know that i was talking to him... and this mod was perfect! i would use it in such a way that i would just type his name once to get his attention and then i wouldn't have to keep typing his name over and over.

Yikes! That's a serious bug! So, here's a fix:
New Ping! versions 1.1.2 for MC1.7.10, 2.0.2 for MC1.8.9, and 3.0.1 for MC1.9. They all contain the same changes:
This is actually a pretty neat mod!
