Overview

Dehydration adds a critical layer of survival to Minecraft by introducing a Hydration Bar (Thirst) that functions similarly to the Hunger bar. Players must maintain their hydration levels to avoid debilitating debuffs and eventual death. The mod is designed for the Fabric loader and emphasizes a balanced progression from early-game makeshift containers to advanced purification systems.

Key Features

  • Hydration Bar: A new UI element located above the hunger bar consisting of 10 water droplets (20 points).
  • Dynamic Depletion: Thirst levels drop based on physical activity (sprinting, jumping, mining) and environmental factors.
  • Purification System: Multiple ways to turn 'Dirty' water into 'Purified' water using cauldrons, campfires, and specialized pumps.
  • Progression: Craftable flasks made from Bamboo, Leather, and Copper to store water for long journeys.
  • Compatibility: Native support for EnvironmentZ (temperature affects thirst) and Motschen's Puddles (drinking from rainwater puddles).

Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a Leather Flask?
Leather Flasks are made with a crafting_shaped recipe using leather. They are the base tier of flask and can be upgraded to Iron, Golden, Diamond, and Netherite variants.
How do I upgrade my Leather Flask to an Iron Leather Flask?
Use a crafting_shaped recipe with your Leather Flask and iron materials. The Iron Leather Flask holds more water than the base Leather Flask.
How do I get a Netherite Leather Flask?
The Netherite Leather Flask is obtained via the smithing_transform recipe, combining a Diamond Leather Flask with a Netherite ingot and a smithing template.
How do I purify water?
Place a Copper Cauldron or Campfire Cauldron and use it to process water into Purified Water. Purified Water Buckets are the result of the smelting recipe.
What is the Campfire Cauldron used for?
The Campfire Cauldron is a block that purifies water when placed over a heat source. It functions as a lower-tier purification method compared to the Copper Cauldron.
How do I craft a Copper Cauldron?
The Copper Cauldron is crafted with a crafting_shaped recipe using copper. It purifies water and is a step up from the Campfire Cauldron.
How do I collect rainwater?
Place a Rainwater Collector block outdoors; it gathers water from rain over time. The collected water can then be purified or stored in a flask.
What does the Bamboo Pump do?
The Bamboo Pump is a block used to move or extract water. It works alongside cauldrons and collectors in your hydration setup.
How do I drink water from a flask?
Fill a Leather Flask or higher-tier flask with Purified Water, then use it to drink. Drinking restores your hydration and prevents dehydration damage.
How do I make a Purified Water Bucket?
Purified Water Buckets are produced via the smelting recipe, processing regular water into purified form. They can be used to fill flasks or drink directly.
What is the difference between the flask tiers?
Leather, Iron, Golden, Diamond, and Netherite Leather Flasks each hold progressively more water. Higher tiers are made via crafting_shaped or smithing_transform recipes.
How do I stop taking Dehydration damage?
Drink Purified Water from a flask or bucket to restore hydration. Keep a filled flask on hand and refill it using a Copper Cauldron, Campfire Cauldron, or Rainwater Collector.
