Thirst and Quenched
- Thirst Bar: Depletes as you run, jump, mine, and fight.
- Quenched Buffer: Works like saturation. It drains first, and heals you once saturation runs out.
- Dehydration: Food stops healing below half thirst. Low thirst prevents sprinting, and empty thirst causes steady damage.
- Environment: Thirst drains a little even at rest. Hot biomes like deserts and the Nether deplete it faster. Fire Resistance and Fire Protection reduce heat drain.

Water Quality
| Grade | Common Sources | Effects |
|---|---|---|
| Dirty | Swamps, stagnant pools | Often causes Upset Stomach or Poisoning, worse on harder difficulties |
| Murky | Standard rivers, lakes, caves | Can cause Upset Stomach or Poisoning |
| Clean | Mountain rivers, rain, boiled water | Safe |
| Pure | Cold peaks, dripstone, distilled water | Safe, with the biggest reserve |
| Salty | Oceans and beaches | Cannot quench thirst; makes you Parched |
Purification
- Boiling: Boil water bottles, bowls, buckets, canteens and flasks in a furnace to make them Clean, which is safe to drink.
- Hanging Pots: Hang a Copper or Iron Hanging Pot over a lit campfire to boil water Clean on its own.
- Copper Distiller: A two-block still and the way to Pure water, from any water, sea water included. It burns furnace fuel and hoppers can keep it running.
- Rain and Dripstone: Cauldrons placed under open rain or pointed dripstone automatically fill with clean water.

// Salty snacks restore no thirst.
ThirstEvents.DRINK.register((player, stack, drink) -> {
if (stack.is(MyItems.SALTY_SNACK)) drink.cancel();
});
// Give a player a bottle of Pure water.
player.addItem(ThirstApi.waterBottle(ThirstApi.maxPurity()));
