Gentle Reminders
Players who want periodic prompts during play can use Gentle Reminders, a client-side mod that sends mindful messages on a timer from a customizable config file.
What it does
Gentle Reminders sends a message to the player at a set interval counted in ticks, and the messages come from a list defined in a config file. The list is shuffled into a random order, repeats are allowed, and once every message has appeared the list starts over. A message is also sent when the player joins a world, so the mod is visibly enabled from the start. On the first client startup the mod generates its config file if none exists, and it checks the file's version so that the latest message updates are applied.
The messages are shown as toasts, which can be styled with a block texture for the background and another block texture for the border. Several combinations are included, such as a dark oak planks background with an amethyst block border, or a redstone block background with a diorite border. Adding new messages follows a simple format described in the config. The mod works on Fabric and NeoForge across several Minecraft releases, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. The code is open source, and the source and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Timed messages
Messages are sent every set number of ticks, with the interval chosen in the config file.
Shuffled message list
Messages appear in random order with repeats allowed, and the list restarts after all have been shown.
Block-textured toasts
Toast backgrounds and borders can be set to block textures, with a simple default style available.
Editable config file
The client reads the config file at startup and creates it when it is missing, so new messages can be added by editing it.
