Ping question

We need a developer.

I may be mistaken. Although /ping tells you the ping that you are currently. The ping next to the server name tells you what the ping in the server should be like. Not what it really is. Sorry if I am wrong. kpwn may know better.

Okay I am finally here. /ping in game is horribly inaccurate because #BlameMojang. Most minecraft things show correct ping or connection bars ever. Now on the other hand command prompt will get that right 100% of the time because it directly interacts with your network card. While /ping has to interact with software like Java and then your operating system. Hopefully this settles it.

So, what you're saying is that neither of them are accurate, or they are both pretty inaccurate.

No he is saying CMD is the most accurate

Alright, thank you.

I'm pretty sure it is, but I'm not positive.

I thought I herd when you do /ping it's double the ping you actually get

QA;TL?

I just wanted to ask what ping is the accurate one?
You can see your ping at favourite servers , on the right part of the screen and i have around 50-60 ms there but if i do /ping in game i usually get around 110-120.
