Yet Another Thirst FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I drink water without crafting anything?
Hold Shift and right-click on any water source block with empty hands to drink directly from it. This gives you an instant drink but the water quality depends on where you found it—swamp water will give you nausea and poison effects.
Why do I keep getting nausea when I drink water?
You're drinking dirty or slightly dirty water. Purify your water by placing a filled container on a lit campfire (increases purity by one level) or in a furnace (increases purity by two levels) until it reaches Acceptable or Purified quality.
What's the fastest way to get a water container early game?
Craft a
clay bowl from clay balls, then cook it in a furnace or campfire to make a
terracotta bowl. This gives you a reusable container much faster than waiting to find iron or glass bottles.

Yes, look up at the sky during a rainstorm and your thirst bar will slowly refill. This is a free way to hydrate if you're caught outside during rain.
Why am I thirsty so much faster in the Nether?
The Nether's heat causes you to lose water three times faster than normal. If you have the Fire Resistance effect active, you won't lose water to heat dehydration at all.
What happens if my thirst bar completely empties?
You'll start taking damage until you drink something. Before it gets that low, you'll lose the ability to sprint and your health won't regenerate, making combat and travel much harder.
How do I set up a cauldron to purify water?
Fill a cauldron with different water purity levels and the mod will average them out to a middle purity level. You can also use dispensers to fill bottles and buckets while preserving their purity level.
Does thirst drain faster when I'm doing stuff?
Yes, running, jumping, and fighting all drain your thirst bar faster than standing still. The hotter your biome, the faster you'll get thirsty overall.
Can I use wooden bowls to carry water?
Yes, wooden water bowls are another simple container option you can fill and drink from before you have access to iron or glass bottles.
Does thirst drain differently in different biomes?
Yes, the mod adjusts how fast you get thirsty based on your current biome—hot biomes like deserts will dehydrate you faster than cold or temperate areas.
