You Need Hydration

by youziqwq539

You Need Hydration adds drinking water as a thirst mechanic, with dirty water that players must purify by heat before it is safe to drink.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 26.1

What it does

Players drink water to satisfy thirst, and water that is not clean applies a visible thirst debuff. Dirty water sits in bowls and bottles and is purified using heat, so a furnace-style step is part of the loop. The settings are customizable, and the author built the mod around visual custom configuration so servers can tune it.

Key features

  1. Drinking water mechanic

    Drinking water restores thirst, adding a basic survival need to the game.

  2. Dirty water and purification

    Dirty water in bowls and bottles is cleaned by heat before players can drink it safely.

  3. Thirst debuff visual

    Drinking dirty water shows a thirst buff visual, so the effect is noticeable in play.
