Toasts

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.
