FAQ
Common questions. For anything not covered here, ask in the Discord server.
Getting Started
What is this?
A free browser tool that sends real-time notifications when rare mobs spawn in florr.io. Uses a WebSocket connection for instant delivery.
Do I need an account?
No. Click Guest on the welcome screen to connect instantly. Guest sessions expire after a set period but have full access to notifications.
What does Discord login add?
Persistent session (no expiry), your username shown in the community panel, and earlier mob deletion access (5 min vs. 30 min for guests).
Notifications
Which spawns trigger notifications?
Super, Unique, and Eternal mobs. These are rare enough to warrant an alert. Everything else still appears in the live feed without a push notification.
How do I enable browser notifications?
Your browser will prompt on first connect. Click Allow. If you previously denied it, click the lock icon in the address bar, find Notifications, set to Allow, and refresh.
Why am I not getting alerts?
Check: (1) browser permission is Allow, (2) notifications aren't toggled off in Settings, (3) the server region isn't filtered out.
Can I filter by specific mob names?
Yes. Settings has a whitelist (always notify) and blacklist (never notify) for both spawn and defeat events, plus region filters.
Features
What are rifts?
Limited-time competitive events. Prize goes to the top damage dealer. The tracker shows live rift status and logs past winners in the Rifts History panel.
What does the shop monitor do?
Detects daily shop changes and shows a badge. You can also browse past shop contents with the date navigator.
What are mapcodes?
Short codes that teleport you to specific biomes in florr.io. The Mapcodes panel shows live community-maintained codes organized by biome.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Fully responsive layout. Browser notifications work on most mobile browsers; on iOS you may need to add the site to your home screen.
Technical
How does the real-time connection work?
WebSocket: a persistent two-way connection between your browser and the server. Events are pushed instantly, not polled.
What's stored on my device?
Session token, notification settings, and layout preferences. All in localStorage, never transmitted except the session token for authentication.
Why was I disconnected?
Usually a network interruption, server restart, planned maintenance, or unexpected downtime. The app reconnects automatically when service resumes. Pinning the tab prevents browser suspension.
