IWBIA

by Bohdan41k

IWBIA, a data pack and mod by Bohdan41k, shows the biome a player stands in on the action bar.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.20 – 1.21.10

What it does

Once installed, the mod displays the current biome of the player on the action bar, the line of text above the hotbar. The display updates as the player moves between biomes, so a traveler can see where they are without opening the debug screen. Files cover the Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt loaders, plus a data pack variant for server platforms.

The server must run the mod, while players may add it to their own game, so only the server side is required. Versions are published for 1.20 – 1.21.10 across 18 release versions, with 2.0+mod for 1.21.10 as the newest file on every loader. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

The mod has no dependencies beyond its loader, and it was first published on 2024-08-05, with the last update on 2025-11-10. Snapshot builds are not listed on the page. Context: 1131 Technology mods have Fabric files for 1.21.10, and IWBIA sits in that group.

Key features

  1. Biome on the action bar

    The biome the player is standing in appears on the action bar and changes as the player crosses a border.

  2. Data pack variant

    A data pack version is available for server platforms that cannot load mod files directly.

  3. Per-player display

    Each player sees their own current biome, so the line of text is not shared across a server.

  4. Simple install path

    Installation takes a few steps: fetch the file, place it in the mods folder, and start the game.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players who want a constant biome readout on the action bar, and server owners who prefer a data pack option. Players on a server that runs the mod do not need to install it, since the client side is optional.

How it compares

Full comparison

Create: Redstone Recipe covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and the server must run it while the client is optional, under the MIT License, so it is not open source. Coordinate in Bar is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt on 1.21.6 only, and it is needed on the server, with the client optional, under the MIT License. Create: Crimsite Recipe matches the Redstone Recipe loaders and version range, with the same environment, and is also under the MIT License.

Questions

Does the server need IWBIA installed?

Yes. The server must run the mod, so it has to be installed there. Players may add it on their own client to see the biome display.

Which loader should be chosen for IWBIA?

Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt all have a 2.0+mod file for 1.21.10. Pick the loader the modpack or server already uses.

Can IWBIA run on a version earlier than 1.20?

No. Files are published from 1.20 up to 1.21.10, and no build is listed for earlier releases.
