TravellersToasts
by 2Retr0
TravellersToasts shows an informational toast when a player enters a new biome, with checks that limit how often and where the toasts appear.
What it does
Each time a player crosses into a biome, a toast notification describes it. Four checks decide whether the toast appears: a cooldown so the same biome is not announced twice within a configurable period, a location check that skips underground biomes except caves such as lush caves, a check that ignores ocean biomes while the player is swimming or riding a boat, and an inhabited time check that skips chunks already visited past a configurable threshold. Biomes that mirror surface biomes underground follow the same rules.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's own game needs it, and servers do not run it. It requires Fabric API. Builds exist for Fabric and Quilt across six game versions, 1.19.2 – 1.20.4, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.
Key features
Biome entry toasts
A toast describes a biome the moment the player enters it, giving a short note about new terrain.
Cooldown between toasts
A biome is not announced again within a configurable cooldown period, so border crossings do not repeat the message.
Underground filtering
Biome toasts are skipped underground, with lush caves and other cave biomes as the exception, so strip mining stays quiet.
Chunk visit threshold
Chunks visited past a configurable inhabited time are no longer announced, leaving toasts for areas a player has not explored.

Use cases
Long travel across the world
Players crossing many biomes on foot or by boat get toasts only when the checks allow, rather than one per border.
Who it’s for: Players who want biome exploration to feel more rewarding in single-player worlds, and players on Fabric or Quilt who use Fabric API.

What the author says
· If you were curious, the shaders used this for demo are Complementary Shaders. A longstanding issue I've had with vanilla Minecraft is how unrewarding it can feel to visit new biomes. I hope this small addition could help incentivize/reward traveling—if only just a bit more.
