Thirst Was Tweaked
by Dark2932
Thirst Was Tweaked changes the thirst mechanics of Thirst Was Taken, adding drink items, hydration values and compatibility options for Forge.
What it does
The mod tweaks the Thirst Was Taken mod, which must be installed alongside it. One of its options keeps thirst food levels after death, and this is turned off by default, but can be enabled in the configuration. Hydratoxin's effect shows the thirst bar in purple instead of its usual colour.
Several unneeded configuration options in Thirst Was Taken were disabled, and some logic faults were fixed. Pure and food drinks are registered through a DrinkItem subclass of Item, which allows both kinds to be set at once. Hydration amounts, use durations and returned items are set with DrinkItemManager, and the wiki and source code cover further details.
Installation needs Thirst Was Taken, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Thirst Was Tweaked is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and is released under the MIT License as open source. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from its public pages.
Key features
Death retention option
Thirst food levels can be kept after death, a setting that is disabled by default and enabled in the configuration.
Hydratoxin thirst colour
The Hydratoxin effect turns the thirst bar purple, so the effect is visible in the interface.
Drink item registration
Pure drinks and food drinks are registered through a DrinkItem subclass, so both types can be set simultaneously.
Hydration amounts through DrinkItemManager
Hydration amount, use duration and returned items are set through DrinkItemManager, and a simple Supplier example is included.
