Ever wandered into an unfamiliar landscape in a heavily modded world and had no idea what biome you were standing in? BiomeInfo Mod solves that problem instantly by displaying the current biome name right on your screen — and it can even identify biomes you're looking at from a distance. With over 150,000 downloads and support across Forge, Fabric, Quilt, and NeoForge, it's become a go-to utility for explorers navigating massive modpacks packed with custom terrain.
Key Features
- Real-time biome identification — See the name of the biome you're currently standing in, displayed directly on your HUD without opening any menus.
- Look-at biome detection — Point your crosshair at distant terrain and the mod reveals which biome it belongs to, handy for scouting before you commit to a long trek.
- Fully customizable display — Adjust the position, text color, and how long the biome name stays visible so it fits your UI layout and personal preference.

FAQ
Does BiomeInfo Mod work with modded biomes?
Yes — BiomeInfo reads biome names directly from the game, so it will display the name of any biome registered in your world, including those added by mods like Biomes O' Plenty or Terralith.
Can I hide the biome display when I don't need it?
The mod lets you adjust the duration of the biome name display through its config settings powered by Cloth Config API. You can set it to show briefly on biome change or customize it to your liking.
Is BiomeInfo compatible with minimap mods?
BiomeInfo appears to be lightweight and only adds an on-screen text overlay, so it should work alongside minimap mods like Xaero's or JourneyMap without conflict. The customizable display position helps you avoid UI overlap.
