How to Hide the Thirst Bar Text (Temporarily or Permanently)

The thirst bar is drawn as action bar text. It can get in the way when you are recording, building or reading other action bar messages. The addon supports two vanilla /tag commands to hide it.

Before you start: commands need cheats enabled. Turn them on in the world settings, or ask the world owner.

Hide it for a few seconds

1. Open chat.

2. Type /tag @s add cd and press Enter.

3. The thirst text disappears for a few seconds and then comes back.

You do not need to remove the cd tag yourself, because it removes itself automatically. This is handy for a quick screenshot or for clearing the action bar during a short moment.

Hide it permanently

1. Open chat.

2. Type /tag @a add no and press Enter.

3. The thirst text stays hidden until the no tag is removed.

4. To bring it back, use the vanilla command /tag @a remove no.

Multiplayer note: @a targets every player currently online. On a shared world, this hides the text for everyone, not just you. Check with other players first.

A word of caution

These commands are described as disabling the action bar *text*. Without the display, you lose your visual warning before the bar runs out. You will not see it dropping, so keep drinking regularly from your supply of mineral water, coke, beer or energy drinks. That way you avoid the nausea, blindness and hunger effects of an empty bar.
