Thirst Was Taken 2

Water stops being scenery. A second bar sits above hunger and empties as the day goes on, faster while running and faster still in the Nether, so every trip out needs something to drink along the way.

Running out

The bar has two parts, mirroring hunger and saturation. Filled droplets are thirst itself. Outlined droplets on the second row are quenched hydration, a reserve that drains first and holds the bar steady while it lasts.

Natural healing slows as soon as the bar is not full. Sprinting stops once it drops to three droplets. At zero, thirst starts taking health.

Not all water is safe

The biome sets the grade.

Where the water comes from	Usual grade
Mountains	Acceptable
Rivers	Slightly dirty
Most other biomes	Slightly dirty
Swamps, jungles, savannas and badlands	Dirty
Oceans and beaches	Salty

Hot biomes, and mud, farmland or a composter within a couple of blocks, make water worse. Cold biomes and water that is high up or deep underground make it better.

Dirty water still quenches thirst, but it can bring Nausea, Hunger or Poison with it. Salt water is the exception that catches people out: it restores nothing, causes Nausea, and boiling will not fix it.

Making it safe

A furnace or a campfire raises the grade of anything drinkable, bottles, buckets and bowls alike.

Carrying it

Clay is the early answer. Three clay balls make four Clay Bowls, a furnace turns each one into a Terracotta Bowl, and that bowl scoops from any water, including the flowing kind a glass bottle refuses.

Bowls and bottles hold one drink each. The waterskin holds three in the same slot, keeps their purity, and mixes what is poured into it, which makes three leather and a piece of string an easy trade.

Settings

Everything is adjustable through Mod Menu or config/thirstwastaken2.json: how fast the bar drains, how harsh dirty water is, where the bar sits on screen, and which items count as a drink.

The server decides the gameplay settings. Each player decides their own HUD settings.

AppleSkin is supported. With it installed and its exhaustion underlay switched on, the thirst bar gets the same underlay the hunger bar has.

Languages

English, French, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
