Homeostatic
by wendall911
Homeostatic adds temperature and thirst to Minecraft, with the environment's heat and cold and the player's own activity both feeding into how fast water runs out.
What it does
Environment temperature in the mod is calculated from several outside factors, based on the wet-bulb globe temperature index. Biome temperatures are overridden so that cold and hot places feel closer to what a player would expect outdoors. Temperature is smoothed against nearby biomes, so a snowy region does not turn stupid cold the moment it borders a warm one.
Thirst responds to the surrounding temperature, the player's body temperature and how active the player is. Overheating drains water quickly, which can lead to harmful effects or death. Seasons are taken into account when Serene Seasons is installed. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on client and server. It is released under the MIT License as open source, with builds for 1.18.2 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
Key features
Wet-bulb temperature model
Environment temperature is derived from several external factors using the wet-bulb globe temperature index.
Biome temperature override
Biome temperatures are replaced with values closer to real conditions, and nearby biomes are blended together.
Thirst from heat and effort
Water consumption rises with environment heat, body temperature and physical activity, and overheating empties it fast.
Season support
Seasonal changes feed into temperature when Serene Seasons is present.

Use cases
Survival playthroughs
Players who want weather and heat to matter alongside food and shelter can add the temperature and water pressure to an existing survival pack.
Modded packs
Because the mod is written to stay close to vanilla, it is meant to sit alongside a heavily modded pack as well as on plain vanilla worlds.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want temperature and thirst to influence survival, and who already run Fabric API on a supported loader.

What the author says
A temperature and thirst mod that doesn't defy logic. Challenging, but not in an annoying, grinding way. Very stable code, so shouldn't randomly crash game. Very vanilla friendly. Should integrate well with a heavily modded pack, or vanilla.
