BiomeInfo

by bl4ckscor3

With BiomeInfo, the name of the biome a player is standing in appears as text on screen whenever the player enters a new one.

What it does

When the player enters a new biome, the mod shows its name as a short line of text and then fades it out. The display time can be changed in the configuration, and the text can also be set to stay on screen permanently. A separate option turns the display off entirely.

The text sits in the top left corner by default. Position presets make it quick to move, and the full position can be set in the configuration file. Color is entered as a hexadecimal value, so white is ffffff, and the text can also be scaled, given a shadow (on by default) or aligned differently. The text stays hidden while the debug screen (F3) is open, and that behavior can be configured. The mod works alongside other biome mods such as Biomes o' Plenty.

BiomeInfo is released under the MIT License. It runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the files cover 35 release versions, 1.12.2 – 26.3. The latest Fabric and NeoForge files are v1.9 for 26.3, and the latest Forge file is v1.7 for 1.20.1. Fabric API is required on Fabric, while Forge Config API Port is required on Forge.

Key features

  1. Biome name display

    Shows the current biome name as on-screen text each time the player crosses into a new biome.

  2. Timed fade-out

    The text stays visible for a set time by default, then fades, and the time can be lengthened or the text kept visible at all times.

  3. Position presets and custom placement

    Several preset positions are available, and the exact placement can be set in the configuration file, with the top left corner as the default.

  4. Color and text options

    Color is set by hexadecimal value, and scaling, shadow and alignment can also be adjusted.

  5. Debug screen pause

    The text is hidden while the F3 debug screen is open, and this behavior can be turned off in the configuration.

How it compares

Full comparison

Ez Coordinates is a Fabric-only, client-side tool for the 26.1.2 version, released under the MIT License, so it shows coordinates rather than biome names. Show Biome In Name is released under the MIT License across four loaders, 1.21 – 1.21.4, but it requires the server side, while BiomeInfo runs only on the client.

Questions

Does BiomeInfo need to be installed on the server?

No. The mod is client-side only and does nothing when installed on a server, so players install it on their own game.

Which dependencies does BiomeInfo require?

Fabric API is required on Fabric, and Forge Config API Port is required on Forge. Other loaders need neither of them.

Can the biome text be hidden while using the debug screen?

Yes. The text is not drawn while the F3 debug screen is open by default, and the configuration allows that to be changed.

What the author says

This mod will show a simple text containing the name of the biome the player is currently in. This is useful if you'd like to have constant information about which biome you're currently traveling in, but don't want your screen to be cluttered with other information.\ The info will show once for 1.5 seconds after you…
