Toasts

This article is about the text boxes. For the rabbit variant, see Toast.

Toasts are informational text boxes shown on the screen. They typically show up when the player unlocks new crafting recipes, grants advancements, or a song starts playing, and there are informational messages which can be of any type.

Tutorial hints are also specific toasts that serve to teach the player how to play the game.

There are various situations where a toast is shown, each has different appearances or positions:

• When the player unlocks crafting (or smelting) recipes in Survival, if recipe unlocking is enabled. The toast cycles through the inventory icons of all unlocked recipes until it disappears.
