by spacemex

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20 – 26.3

What it does

Each time an action adds experience to a skill, a toast notification appears with the skill name, the XP gained and an icon for that skill. The toast is built on the Pufferfish's Skills API, so it reports the skills that the Pufferfish's Skills mod tracks, and the mod is lightweight and heavily configurable.

Its options cover the toast position, the title and message text for experience gains and the animation used when a toast appears. A built-in file reloader keeps the settings consistent when resources reload, and the datapack and KubeJS registration can be used to adjust which skills are shown. Architectury API is required on every loader, and Fabric API is required on Fabric. Pufferfish's Skills must be installed as well, at version 0.16 or later. Version 8.0 and later need Architectury API.

The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 22 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Skill experience toasts

    A toast notification shows each skill's name, the XP gained per action and the matching skill icon.

  2. Customizable toast position

    The screen position of the toast can be set, so it can sit clear of the hotbar or chat.

  3. Configurable experience messages

    The title and text used for experience gains can be changed to suit a modpack or personal taste.

  4. Animation options

    Toast entry and exit animations can be chosen or turned down in the settings.
