Extreme Dehydration
by MrGastrit
Extreme Dehydration adds a thirst meter that players must keep filled with water to stay alive, on Fabric.
What it does
Players have to drink water on a regular basis, and ignoring thirst for too long eventually causes death. Water is gathered in bottles and purified by boiling it over a campfire, since drinking unclean water can poison the player. The mod is built to make survival feel more immersive without making the gameplay complicated. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are released for Fabric, for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, under the Apache License 2.0.
