Biome notifier
by Hicham
Biome Notifier shows a message on screen each time a player walks into a biome, marking the first visit with a larger, louder notice.
What it does
Entering a biome the world has not yet explored brings up a large discovery message at the top of the screen, played with its own sound. Later visits to the same biome show a smaller, quieter message that appears in a corner the player chooses. Players do not need to keep the F3 debug screen open to see new biomes.
The mod keeps a separate record of the biomes each player has discovered in a given world, and an internal journal screen lists them with a search box. Settings are changed in the built-in configuration screen, where the notice position can be set to top left, center top or top right. Modded biomes are picked up automatically, for example those from Terralith.
Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. Dependencies are Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), which are required, and Mod Menu, which is optional. Files are published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.21.1 – 26.2, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
