BiomeDisplay

BiomeDisplay is a mod for Hytale that displays the current biome information in the UI.

If the MultipleHUD mod is present, this mod can be used alongside other mods that support multiple custom HUDS (e.g. EyeSpy).

Usage

Hide or show the HUD

/biome toggle

Adjust the position of the HUD

/biome position top center
/biome position middle right
/biome position bottom left

Set the positional offset of the HUD

/biome offset 100 0
/biome offset -500 20
/biome offset 0 -120

Adjust the size of the HUD

/biome size small
/biome size medium
/biome size large

Make background semi-transparent

/biome transparent true
/biome transparent false

Changelog

1.5.0

• Updated MultipleHUD support to 1.0.6.
• Added /biome offset <x> <y> for fine-grained HUD positioning and config-backed default offset support.

1.4.1

• Fixed compatibility with AutoMultiHud when using mods that have the same UI selector names (e.g. EyeSpy's #Info selector). All UI selectors are now prefixed by "BD" (for BiomeDisplay).
• Updated MultipleHUD support to 1.0.4.

1.4.0

• Added a command (/biome transparent <true|false>) to toggle whether the background of the HUD is semi-transparent.
• Added config file support to determine if the HUD background is semi-transparent when a user first joins.
• Updated config setup such that it will always save on launch instead of only writing the defaults if the file does not exist. This will ensure that new keys are shown in the config as they are added in future versions.

1.3.4

• Attempt to fix a crash that could occur when an update was requested while the UI was in in an invalid state ("Crash - Selected element in CustomUI command was not found. Selector: #TierLabel.Style").

1.3.3

• Config file is now created if one does not already exist.
• Further attempts at fixing concurrency issues.

1.3.2

1.3.1

• Improved performance by skipping UI updates the contents and layout are unchanged on tick.
