Just Enough Hydration!

by Mistykyunn

Just Enough Hydration! adds a hydration bar to Minecraft 26.2 that players must keep filled alongside hunger, drinking water to avoid penalties.

What it does

Hydration is tracked as a bar in the game, separate from the hunger bar. Eating food lowers the hydration level over time, and when it falls low the player gets a warning and must drink water to refill it. Food and drink both affect the bar, and a player who lets it run down can be damaged, so hydration works together with the existing food system rather than replacing it.

The mod is a Fabric mod for the 26.2 release only, so it has no builds for older game versions or other loaders. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it for the hydration system to work in multiplayer. Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside it. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the project is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source.

Key features

  1. Hydration bar

    A bar tracks hydration as a separate value next to the hunger bar, shown in the normal game interface.

  2. Low hydration warnings

    When the hydration level drops low, the player receives a warning that prompts them to drink.

  3. Drinking water

    Water bottles and other water sources refill the hydration bar, so players have a direct way to restore it.

  4. Damage from dehydration

    A player who stays too long without hydration takes damage, which ties the bar to survival play.
