This mod will show a simple text containing the name of the biome the player is currently in.
This is useful if you'd like to have constant information about which biome you're currently traveling in, but don't want your screen to be cluttered with other information.
The info will show once for 1.5 seconds after you entered a new biome. It will then fade out. You can change the time the info appears, or have it shown all the time via the mod's configuration options. To turn the display off completely, toggle the corresponding option.
The text will show at the top left corner of Minecraft by default, however you can completely customize its position and color with the ingame configuration. To change the text's color, copy the hexadecimal value of a color into the configuration field. For instance, the hex value of white is ffffff (you can use an online tool to get the value of other colors).
Other configuration options include scaling the text and making the text render with a shadow (true by default).
- This mod is compatible with any other biome mod, like Biomes o' Plenty.
- Should the debug screen (F3) be open, the biome info will not be rendered.
- This mod is a client side mod. It will not do anything if installed on a server.
- Please be careful if you use this on a public server, the rules may not allow its usage.
You are allowed to use this mod in any modpack.

Where can i configure the colors and location of the info? i cant find the options in-game
In reply to snuggle_manager:
You can find the config file in the config folder. The file will be named biomeinfo-client.toml. The folder is at the same place as your resourcepacks, mods, saves, etc. folders.
Heyo, loving this mod and looking to use it in a modpack me and my mate are making. (Will defo credit you cause I love this mod!)
How would I go about adding a fade in for the text? We're both very new to coding so any help is massively appreciated :)
In reply to bjarn_innit:
If you're in 1.15/1.16, I can add a fade in config option for you if you want, that's no problem. Otherwise you'd have to look at how the fade out works, then do the same thing for fade in.
In reply to bl4ckscor3:
Hey man, thanks for the quick reply! Yes please, that'd be great! I'm in 1.16.4, would it just require adding to the .toml config? Or do the configs only toggle options set in the mod itself?
In reply to bjarn_innit:
Config values only change behavior if the mod's code does something with these config values. This means that I will have to release a new update for BiomeInfo with this functionality. I'm currently working on an update for a different mod of mine, but I'll try to get this feature into BiomeInfo as soon as I can.
In reply to bl4ckscor3:
Sure, no rush. :) Thanks again!
In reply to bjarn_innit:
I just published the update. :)
In reply to bl4ckscor3:
Ayyy, thanks man! :D
if I wanted it to show up in the middle how would i achieve that?
In reply to mlgluigigamer:
Adjust the posX and posY configuration options so that it shows up in the middle of your screen.
In reply to bl4ckscor3:
how exactly would I do that?
like what would the x, and y be?
also Its not wanting to work for me
I've adjusted it from 3 to -3 for both I also tried 0
In reply to mlgluigigamer:
I don't know what the x and y would be, it depends on your screen size. 0 is the top left corner, and on a standard 1920x1080 pixel screen when playing the game in fullscreens mode, the bottom right position is x=1920 and y=1080.
It's awsome, specially when you mine farther as you can. Also, how can I change position in display? Actually I'm using another mod that is placed on the same corner (up left). I would like to move biomeinfo to up right. I already found config document, but I don't know which numbers must to be changed
In reply to jyggalagcm:
Change posX for the horizontal placement, and posY for the vertical placement.
Very cool mod thank you so much! This works in single player, but doesn't seem to work on my Forge server. The server runs and we can play, but the info does not pop up. Also after running the server there doesn't seem to be any config file. Any ideas why that could be?
In reply to sausagesageman:
As the description of this mod says, it's client-side only. The configuration file can be found in the client's config folder, and is called biomeinfo-client.toml.
In reply to bl4ckscor3:
Oh I’m dumb thanks for that.
GREAT MOD!!! Kinda feel like playing Dark Souls now, but without the sound effects whenever I go to a new place/biome.
Could BiomeInfo also provide season information from the Serene Seasons mod in a similar fashion to this?
