# TravellersToasts
\nVanilla Minecraft features a plethora of biomes, yet many go overlooked due to visual similarities with other biomes. TravellersToasts is a small mod which aims to better express the personalities of each biome by displaying a *toast** when you begin ‘***exploring***’ a new biome\u2014take a look!<\/p>\n

\n**\u00b7** If you were curious, the shaders used this for demo are Complementary Shaders.<\/p>\n

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\u2014if only just a bit more.<\/p>\n

## Features (Technical Information)
\n…Well, the singular feature of this mod fairly evident, so I’ll use this section to talk about the various checks in place to ensure biome toasts *only* show *when it makes most sense* (that is, to not just mirror whatever biome the debug screen shows).<\/p>\n

* **Movement Checks** *(biome toasts will not be immediately shown when entering a new biome until the player’s future position (based on current velocity) remains within said biome for a set amount of time).*
\n\t* This prevents biome toasts from showing up when traversing through a biome quickly (e.g. riding a boat on ice).
\n– **Cooldown Checks** *(a biome toast for a given biome will never show up twice within a configurable cooldown period).*
\n\t– This prevents biome toasts from being invoked constantly when crossing the same border often.
\n* **Location Checks** *(biome toasts will not be shown when underground, unless in a cave biome (e.g. lush caves)).*
\n\t* This prevents biome toasts from showing up when\u2014for example\u2014strip mining (as opposed to the default behavior of underground biomes mirroring their surface biomes).
\n\t* Additionally, for ocean biomes, toasts will not show if the player is *not* swimming (e.g. riding a boat).
\n– **Inhabited Time Checks** *(biome toasts will never be shown when entering a chunk with an inhabited time past a *configurable* threshold).*
\n\t– This prevents biome toasts from showing in bases or commonly explored areas.
\n – ***Note:*** This feature is not available on servers which don’t have the mod installed!<\/p>\n

Summarizing, to begin ‘***exploring***’ a new biome is to enter a biome whilst passing all the above checks (and probably a few more I forgot to list). Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n
