Extra TAN
by matthe815
Extra TAN is a Forge add-on for Tough Nails, adding utility items and drinks that help players manage body temperature and hydration.
What it does
Tough Nails tracks temperature and thirst, and Extra TAN adds more ways to handle both. Its Hot and Cold drinks move the player's temperature a small step toward the intended level in a single use, while Super Hot and Super Cold drinks push it much further. Those stronger drinks can break their bottles, so durability matters when using them. Tempered Flasks, a further utility item, shatter when exposed to extreme temperatures.
The mod also adds native Tough Nails support for Harvestcraft drinks, so those drinks raise the thirst level. It is intended for players who want to avoid freezing or burning to death while exploring without juggling heat sources. Extra TAN requires Tough Nails and Lieutenant, so both must be installed before running a pack. A config option can disable everything except the Harvestcraft features, for players who only want that part.
Extra TAN is open source under the MIT License and is published for Forge only, with a single file for 1.12.2: version 6.0.649, dated 2023-10-16.
