Water Source

The Water Source mod adds thirst, hydration, and drinking systems to Minecraft.

This is a remake of the higher version MC of Water Source based on Kotlin & Fabric & Yarn Mapping, with some changes in game mechanic design, hence the name Water Source “2”.

If you're looking for the mc 1.16.x - 1.18.2 version of Water Source, see Water Source 1

Note

This mod is currently in beta, basic mechanics (water level, hydration, GUI, thirst, water filters, enchantments) have been tested.

There may be issues with these in beta:

• It has not been tested for balance over a long period of time.
• New content may be added at any time.
• There may be balance adjustments.
• Even with my testing, there may be programming issues and undefined behaviors that are not detected.

Features

All the mechanics, see Water Source Wiki

Major changes in “2” over “1”.

• The player's Water Level has changed from 20 to 40, with drinks and food generally having a higher Hydration Level. In contrast, food with no hydration value drains the player's hydration level when eaten, and the player's hydration value drains a little faster.
• Advanced leather water bags and pottery water cups are provided.
• Clearer data pack and more profile configurations

Features not yet implemented

• Interaction between Dispenser and Filter
• Filter capacity display effect
• Coconut family (TBD)

Datapack and configurations

Datapack

Item hydration values and filter recipes are in the hydration and filter_recipe folders of the datapack.

See Water Source Wiki

Configuration files

You can find the configuration files in the . /config/watersource/ under:

• common.toml is the main configuration file (the module mechanism)
• client.toml is the server-side configuration file (HUD, item water information, etc.)

For those who haven't worked with toml before, it is recommended to use code/vscode to open toml files, install toml extensions, and edit them; they can be opened with any text editor as well.

About updates and maintenance

Maintaining the Water Source by myself is a bit of a challenge for my abilities and energy. Frankly speaking, the combination of lack of sponsorship and my lack of technical skills in Water Source 1 ultimately prevented me from continuing to maintain Water Source.

I'm going to use some negative words here:

• Water Source 1 left a lot of issues unresolved and I have no intention of resolving them for the time being.
• I'm keeping Water Source 2 up to date in my spare time, but I can't guarantee that it will be maintained for a long time.

However, I'm also having a lot of fun developing the mod that I wouldn't have had otherwise, thanks to the Fabric community, Kotlin, and all the people who support and like Water Source.
