Public Member Functions
virtual bool	IsBiomeActive (Player player)
	Return true if the player is in the biome. More...
sealed override bool	IsSceneEffectActive (Player player)
	IsSceneEffectActive is auto-forwarded to read the result of IsBiomeActive. Do not need to implement when creating your ModBiome. More...
virtual void	OnEnter (Player player)
	Override this hook to make things happen when the player enters the biome.
virtual void	OnInBiome (Player player)
	Override this hook to make things happen when the player is in the biome.
virtual void	OnLeave (Player player)
	Override this hook to make things happen when the player leaves the biome.
override void	SetStaticDefaults ()
	This is where you can set values for DisplayName. More...
sealed override void	SetupContent ()
	If you make a new ModType, seal this override, and call SetStaticDefaults in it. More...
Public Member Functions inherited from Terraria.ModLoader.ModSceneEffect
virtual float	GetWeight (Player player)
	Is invoked when two or more modded SceneEffect layers are active within the same Priority group to attempt to determine which one should take precedence, if it matters. It's uncommon that need to assign a weight - you'd have to specifically believe that you don't need higher SceneEffectPriority, but do need to be the active SceneEffect within the priority you designated Analogously, if SceneEffect were competing in a wrestling match, this would be how likely the SceneEffect should win within its weight class. Is intentionally bounded at a max of 100% (1) to reduce complexity. Defaults to 50% (0.5). Typical calculations may include: 1) how many tiles are present as a percentage of target amount; 2) how far away you are from the cause of the SceneEffect
virtual bool	IsSceneEffectActive (Player player)
virtual void	SpecialVisuals (Player player, bool isActive)
	Allows you to create special visual effects in the area around the player. For example, the blood moon's red filter on the screen or the slime rain's falling slime in the background. You must create classes that override Terraria.Graphics.Shaders.ScreenShaderData or Terraria.Graphics.Effects.CustomSky, add them in your mod's Load hook, then call Player.ManageSpecialBiomeVisuals. See the ExampleMod if you do not have access to the source code.
virtual TModType	Clone (TEntity newEntity)
	Create a copy of this instanced global. Called when an entity is cloned. More...
virtual bool	IsLoadingEnabled (Mod mod)
	Allows you to stop Mod.AddContent from actually adding this content. Useful for items that can be disabled by a config. More...
virtual void	Load ()
	Allows you to perform one-time loading tasks. Beware that mod content has not finished loading here, things like ModContent lookup tables or ID Sets are not fully populated. More...
virtual TModType	NewInstance (TEntity entity)
	Create a new instance of this ModType for a specific entity More...
virtual void	SetStaticDefaults ()
	Allows you to modify the properties after initial loading has completed. More...
virtual void	SetupContent ()
	If you make a new ModType, seal this override, and call SetStaticDefaults in it. More...
virtual void	Unload ()
	Allows you to safely unload things you added in Load. More...
virtual bool	IsLoadingEnabled (Mod mod)
	Whether or not this type should be loaded when it's told to. Returning false disables Mod.AddContent from actually loading this type. More...
abstract void	Load (Mod mod)
	Called when loading the type. More...
abstract void	Unload ()
	Called during unloading when needed. More...

Properties
virtual ? Color	BackgroundColor [get]
	The color of the bestiary background.
virtual string	BackgroundPath [get]
	The path to the background texture that will appear for this biome behind npcs in the bestiary. Defaults to adding "_Background" onto the usual namespace+classname derived texture path. More...
virtual string	BestiaryIcon [get]
	The path to the 30x30 texture that will appear for this biome in the bestiary. Defaults to adding "_Icon" onto the usual namespace+classname derived texture path. Vanilla icons use a drop shadow at 40 percent opacity and the texture will be offset 1 pixel left and up from centered in the bestiary filter grid.
