PlayerBiomes (1.16.2+)

PlayerBiomes

• Use /whatbiome to find what biome you are in
• Send player-specific translations of biome names to players
• Get the player's biome name formatted in various ways using PlaceholderAPI placeholders
• Gives you the exact same name that the client sees which means it supports custom biomes (datapacks like Terralith, Incendium, etc.)

PlaceholderAPI must be installed on server for placeholders to be usable. Command /whatbiome can still be used without PlaceholderAPI.



What does it do different than the other PlaceholderAPI expansions?

• It gives you the exact same name that the client sees which means it supports custom biomes (plugins and datapack) (other expansions do this only for 1.21.3 and above, due to a change in the Spigot API. But I haven't come across an expansion that formats it and translates it like ours do!)
• Formats biome names which have special characters (/) in them!

Configuration: Options are described in comments beside them
View latest config.yml

Inside the plugins/PlayerBiomes/ folder, a folder named lang can be created and in it, can be multiple json files named <locale>.json that contain translations of biome names for that locale. You can either extract these from the Minecraft Java client .jar file, or download these on the fly from a website that hosts those files. Downloading is disabled by default. Read the config for more info.

• `terralith:moonlight_grove` becomes "Moonlight Grove"
• `terralith:caves/deep_caves` becomes "Deep Caves"
• `incendium:weeping_valley` becomes "Weeping Valley"

%playerbiomes_biome_namespace%:
Gives the Capitalized nameSPACE of the biome

%playerbiomes_biome_formatted% and %playerbiomes_biome_formatted_english%:
