Tough As Nails

by Adubbz

Tough As Nails adds body temperature and thirst to survival play, so players must manage heat, cold and water as well as health and food.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.9.4 – 26.2

What it does

Tough As Nails tracks a body temperature and a thirst level alongside the usual health and hunger. Temperature shifts with biome, time of day and weather, and players need clothing, shelter or heat sources to stay in a safe range. Thirst drops over time and is restored by drinking from water sources and by filled containers. The mod requires Fabric API and GlitchCore, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, across builds covering 1.9.4 – 26.2, under All rights reserved and not open source.

Key features

  1. Body temperature

    Temperature changes with the biome, time of day and weather, and affects the player's health when it leaves a safe range.

  2. Thirst meter

    Thirst decreases over time and is restored by drinking water or from filled containers.

  3. Protective gear

    Clothing and armor pieces raise insulation against cold and heat, so equipment choices matter.
