Tough As Nails Addon
by MiyamuraOri
Tough As Nails Addon extends the Tough As Nails survival mechanics on Fabric and Quilt, with added features, biome support and quality-of-life changes.
What it does
The add-on builds on the original Tough As Nails mod, adding further survival features to it. It supports the Terralith, Incendium and Stellarity biomes, and it removes knockback from hyperthermia and thirst damage. Hydration effects are added to some vanilla food and to Stellarity food items, and the netherite canteen is made fireproof.
Custom armors such as wool and leaf armor can be enchanted, and the thermometer is lighter on performance than before. Mechanics can be switched off automatically when they are not needed. The implementation draws its approach from Tough As Nails and includes a vanilla pack for the vanilla-food changes.
Only the server needs the add-on, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric and Quilt across 3 release versions, 1.21.9 – 1.21.11, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source.
Key features
Terralith, Incendium and Stellarity support
The mod is compatible with the Terralith, Incendium and Stellarity biome mods, so their biomes work with the survival rules.
Hydration on food
Some vanilla food and Stellarity food restore hydration, adding a drink-related effect to everyday meals.
Less knockback and damage
Knockback from hyperthermia and thirst damage is removed, so those effects no longer push the player around.
Enchantable custom armor
Custom armors such as wool and leaf armor accept enchantments, and the netherite canteen is fireproof.

How it compares
Tough As Nails - Compatibility Pack runs on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 1.21.3, with a CC0 1.0 Universal license and no open source code. Tough As Nails - Vanilla Pack targets 1.21 – 1.21.4 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, is server required with optional client, and is also CC0 1.0 Universal. Tough as Nails Compat is a Forge mod for 1.20.1, server-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it covers a different version and loader than this add-on.
