I'm working on a mod to perform an action to the player when a biome transition is detected. Example, I walk from a minecraft:plains biome to a minecraft:forest biome and then my action occurs. I have not been able to find an event to hook into that can listen for a biome edge transition. I'm coding in 1.12.2. Any suggestions?

I had thought of something similar. Are there any concerns for overhead on a check like this?

I'm stumped on how to get the string of the biome name. Could you lend a hand?

 

To elaborate. I am stuck here:

I am no longer stumped. Here's how I got the biome. This example just prints it to console. 

 

    @SubscribeEvent
    public void checkBiomeOnTick(PlayerTickEvent event) {
        //get player's current position
        BlockPos playerPosition = event.player.getPosition();
        //get world biome from players current position
        Biome currentBiome = event.player.getEntityWorld().getBiomeForCoordsBody(playerPosition);        
        //get biome name data and convert to string
        String biomeNameString = currentBiome.getBiomeName();
        //print biome name to console
        System.out.println(biomeNameString);
    }
