Touch Grass Reminder
by CompeyDev
Touch Grass Reminder shows a prompt to step away from the game when a player has been playing for a long stretch, on the Quilt loader.
What it does
The mod runs on the client and warns the player when play time grows long. The warning tells the player to go outside and touch grass, a reminder that the author bases on studies linking heavy gaming with negative effects on the brain. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can install it alone.
Reminder frequency is configurable, so a player can set how often the prompt appears, and the whole feature can be switched off when it is not wanted. Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) and Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) are required, and Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional; Mod Menu adds a settings entry for the mod. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with 0.1.1+1.20.2 for 1.20.2 as the latest Quilt build, published 2024-05-06.
