## BiomeAnnouncer 2.0.0 A full rewrite. Your 1.3 config is upgraded automatically (a backup is kept). ### New * Added Folia support * Added support for 1.21.x and 26.x (Paper) * Added real biome names for custom world generators (Terralith, Incendium, Nullscape, Tectonic, Continents, WWOO, Amplified Nether and other datapacks) * Added Terra and Iris support * Added a placeholder biome source for any other generator, per world * Added cave biome detection (biome is read at your exact height) * Added announce modes: every biome, new biomes only ("New biome discovered!"), or none * Added discovered biomes, saved per player (`/ba discovered`) * Added title, action bar, chat and boss bar channels next to the subtitle * Added fade, instant and gradient-sweep animations next to the typewriter * Added biomes.yml: rename, recolour, hide or group any biome, with per-biome sounds and lines * Added a namespace pattern (e.g. `terralith:*`) to style a whole mod at once * Added biome names in each player's own game language * Added a settle time so walking along a border doesn't spam announcements * Added triggers for join, respawn, world change and teleport * Added per-world settings and a world whitelist/blacklist * Added WorldGuard region support: no announcements in chosen regions (`/ba region`) * Added lang.yml with every message editable (MiniMessage and `&` codes) * Added `/ba mode`, `/ba channels`, `/ba current`, `/ba test`, `/ba debug`, `/ba dump`, `/ba reload` * Added `/ba` as a short alias (configurable) * Added placeholders for the biome, key, mode, discovered count and more * Added SQLite storage (default) with YAML as an option * Added automatic config updates that keep your values and comments ### Fixed * Fixed datapack and cave biomes showing the wrong name * Fixed `/togglebiomeannouncer` not being saved after a restart * Fixed the cooldown announcing a biome you had already left * Fixed announcements overlapping when crossing biomes quickly * Fixed the update check being able to hold up the server ### Changed * Much lighter: players are only checked after moving to a new block, and nothing touches files or the network on the game thread * `/togglebiomeannouncer` still works
