## Technical and Server Information

The settings menu and uninstall system were designed to be server-friendly and safe.

Open the settings menu:

``` /trigger ThirstSettings ```

``` /datapacks/ ``` - Enter the world or run:

``` /datapack list ```

## Thirst Mechanics Thirsty adds a hydration system that works alongside vanilla hunger mechanics.

  • Players have internal thirst and hydration values.
  • Thirst only decreases through player actions — AFK players won’t suddenly die of thirst.
  • In Peaceful Mode, thirst and hydration are automatically replenished.
  • Includes a custom advancement tree to track progression.

Ways to restore thirst - Drinking water bottles or potions - Eating water-rich foods - Sipping directly from natural water sources

Thirst System Details

Thirst works similarly to hunger and saturation:

  • th_thirst → visible bar (0–20, starts at 20)
  • th_hydration → hidden buffer (0–20, starts at 5)

Hydration is always consumed before visible thirst.

| Category / Items | Thirst (visible) | Hydration (hidden) | |-------------------------------------|-----------------:|-------------------:| | Drinks (Water Bottle, Potions) | 8 | 6 | | Sipping from source (Every 80 ticks)| 2 | 1 | | Stews | 6 | 5 | | Milk | 6 | 4 | | Hearty Fruits (Melon Slice) | 4 | 2 | | Fruits | 3 | 1 | | Special (Honey Bottle, Golden Apple)| 2 | 0 | | Negative (Cause thrist, Dried Kelp) | 0 | 0 |

Note: thirst decreases through sprinting, swimming, jumping, and combat. The Thirst status effect accelerates this drain.

## Sipping System - Sneak + look at a water block to drink directly from it. - Requires 80 ticks (~4s) to complete. - Restores +2 Thirst and +1 Hydration. - Intentionally slow to balance risk vs convenience. - Disabled by default — can be enabled in the settings menu. - Each player has an independent sipping configuration.

## Thirst Status Effect - Applied by eating dried kelp or being attacked by a drowned. - Lasts 30 seconds and accelerates thirst drain. - Visual feedback: greenish HUD bar and particles. - Instantly cured by drinking Milk.

## Multiplayer and Language Support - Built with multiplayer compatibility in mind (still experimental). - Available languages: English, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish (Mexico), French, German. - Resource pack system allows easy addition of new translations.

## Final Notes Known limitation: Custom HUD may temporarily disappear when interacting with beds during daytime or when consuming potions, due to engine behavior in recent Minecraft versions.
