Pristine Survival Hydration Mod FAQ

Craft a wooden bowl, clay bowl, or terracotta bowl, then right-click on any water source block to fill it. Your first bowl will contain dirty water, which you'll need to purify before drinking.

Drinking unpurified water gives you sickness, poison, and the Dehydration status effect, which drains your health and thirst bar faster. Always boil your water first using a campfire or furnace.

Place your water bowl in a furnace to raise water purity by two full tiers at once, which is faster than using a campfire that only increases purity by one tier. For even cleaner water, use the Sand Filter block after furnace boiling.

All three bowl types (wooden, clay, and terracotta) function the same way for collecting and storing water—choose whichever fits your base aesthetic or crafting resources.

Craft multiple water bowls, purify them fully using a furnace or Sand Filter, and carry as many as your inventory allows before heading into deserts or hot biomes where thirst depletes much faster.
