Thirst Exhaustion
Thirst Exhaustion introduces a thirst mechanic while reworking one of Minecraft's most overlooked systems: exhaustion.
Exhaustion is now split into 4 levels, each tied to a thirst bar of 20 points, mirroring the food system. The lower your thirst drops, the faster your saturation and hunger will deplete, so staying hydrated is just as important as staying fed.
Restoring Thirst
You can regain thirst points by eating or drinking :
- Fruits
- Soups and stews
- Water Bowls and Water Bottles
- Waterskins — refillable and reusable
You can also drink with an empty hand in certain conditions :
- During rain or thunderstorms
- While standing in or near water — but beware of still water…
Fully Configurable & Data-Driven
Every aspect of the mod can be tuned to your needs. Items are registered via datapack, making it easy to add or modify thirst values without touching the mod itself.
