Thirst Bar
by 3geE
With Thirst Bar, a water need appears on the HUD and drinking refills it, adding a thirst bar to the game.
What it does
Thirst Bar adds a thirst bar that tracks a player's water level over time. Drinking water bottles refills the bar, and the values that control how fast it drops can be changed in its settings. The bar can sit in the action bar, where the mod uses the Smithed Actionbar Library so several datapacks can share that space without conflicts. Thirst Bar works in singleplayer and multiplayer.
The mod is distributed in two ways: as a datapack with a resource pack, or as a mod built for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. A config menu, opened with the function thirstbar:config, lets players switch the feature on or off and adjust its settings. The author describes the mod as open use, but its license is All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Thirst Bar is required by Advanced Water Bottle and Water Canteen. Files cover 1.21 – 26.3 with 17 release versions, the latest being 2.0 for 26.3, published 2026-10-02.
