Thermoo Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
What does the Thermoo mod actually do on its own?
By itself, Thermoo adds nothing you can see or interact with in-game — it's a technical library that provides temperature and wetness systems for other mods to use. If you installed it expecting new items or mechanics, you need a companion mod that actually uses Thermoo's API.
How do I check my current temperature and wetness?
Use Thermoo's built-in commands to query your temperature and soaking values directly. These commands are the fastest way to confirm the system is running and to debug whether a datapack or companion mod is affecting you.
Why isn't anything happening after I installed Thermoo?
Thermoo is a library, not a gameplay mod, so it intentionally changes nothing on its own. You need to install a mod that depends on Thermoo (or write your own) to get actual temperature gameplay like freezing, overheating, or wetness effects.
How does Thermoo decide what temperature a biome is?
Thermoo uses a datapack-driven Environment API where biome and dimension temperatures are defined through data files rather than hardcoded values. This means modpack authors and datapack creators can override or extend temperature definitions without touching code.
Can I change biome temperatures with a datapack?
Yes — Thermoo's Environment API is designed exactly for this. You define or override temperature values for biomes and environments in your datapack, and Thermoo will apply them to any mod or system that queries temperature through its API.
Does Thermoo work with seasons mods?
Yes, Thermoo includes integration with seasons mods so that temperature values can shift based on the current season. This lets temperature-dependent mechanics respond dynamically as seasons change rather than staying static year-round.
What's the difference between temperature and wetness/soaking in Thermoo?
Temperature represents how hot or cold an entity or environment is, while wetness (soaking) tracks how much water or moisture an entity has accumulated. Both are tracked separately and can be queried or modified independently through the API.
Can Thermoo handle both Celsius and Fahrenheit?
Yes — Thermoo's temperature records are unit-agnostic, meaning the API works with abstract temperature values and doesn't force a specific unit. Mods built on Thermoo can display or interpret temperatures in whichever unit they choose.
Do I need to add compatibility patches between Thermoo-based mods?
No — one of Thermoo's core goals is cross-compatibility between mods that use its API, so they work together without requiring separate compatibility patches. As long as mods are built against Thermoo's framework, they should interoperate automatically.
Will Thermoo hurt my performance or cause lag?
Thermoo is a lightweight library and its temperature calculations are designed to be efficient, so it shouldn't cause noticeable lag on its own. Performance impact depends mainly on how heavily companion mods or datapacks query and modify temperature values.
