Thirsty Bottles Mod FAQ

No—this mod makes filling a bottle consume the water source block entirely, so traditional infinite water setups (like the 2×2 pattern) no longer work. You'll need to use cauldrons or find another water supply method.

Use cauldrons instead of source blocks. Cauldrons can be filled multiple times before depleting, making them much more efficient for filling water bottles repeatedly.

This mod applies globally to the entire world—there's no built-in way to disable it for certain regions or players. If you need selective control, check your modpack's configuration options or ask the modpack author.

Cauldrons work differently than source blocks: filling a bottle from a cauldron reduces the cauldron's water level but doesn't consume it entirely, letting you refill it multiple times.

This mod only affects the act of filling glass bottles on water blocks. Water from other sources (like mod-added water blocks or mechanics) behaves according to how those mods define it.

Yes—this mod only affects filling bottles. Placing water blocks for farms, moats, or decoration works normally; the restriction only applies when you use a bottle on a source block.

No, this mod is lightweight and only changes the behavior of a single interaction, so it has minimal performance impact.

You'll need to set up a cauldron system or find alternative water sources provided by your modpack. Plan your water infrastructure early to avoid running out.

This mod only affects glass bottles. Buckets and other containers interact with water normally.

Build a cauldron farm where you can repeatedly fill cauldrons from a limited water source, then fill bottles from those cauldrons. This lets you maximize water efficiency without wasting source blocks.
