About
CustomBiomeAnnounce is a lightweight yet powerful plugin that notifies players whenever they enter a new biome. With custom titles, chat messages, sounds and a per-player exploration tracker, it's the perfect companion for survival, adventure and RPG servers.

• World blacklist — disable the plugin on any worlds you choose
• Per-biome customization — colors, display names, sounds and icons for every single biome
• Multi-language ready — change any text to any language or style directly in the config
• Cooldown system — prevent announcement spam on biome edges
• PlaceholderAPI support — current biome, explored count, total count and progress percentage
• Admin tools — check any player's exploration progress with /cba who
