Try Frostiful!"/> </a> </center> # Features <b>Scorchful</b> is a Vanilla+ survival mod focused on Heat and Desert Survival. This mod increases the difficulty of the survival experience in warm biomes and The Nether. ## Keeping Wet and Staying Cool <img src="https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/TheDeathlyCow/minecraft-mod-pages/main/scorchful/assets/oasis.png" alt="A player wearing a Sun Hat and turtle armor drinking from a water skin."/> <center> A player wearing a Sun Hat and Turtle Armor drinking from a water skin. </center> <br/> Scorchful makes exposure to **the Sun** more dangerous in the warm areas of the world like Jungles, Deserts, Savannas, and Badlands. When outside the protection of Shade, you will grow warmer over time. As you get warmer, you will face the increasing effects of heatstroke: including weakness, hunger, and mining fatigue. Overcome the heat by **Staying Wet**. You can go for a dip in the pond or river, or even just dunk a bucket of water on yourself. If you drink water from Potions, Water Bottles, certain foods, or the new **Water Skin** and **Cactus Juice**, you are also able to **Sweat**, which provides the same cooling benefit as being wet! ## Enhanced Nether Survival <img src="https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/TheDeathlyCow/minecraft-mod-pages/main/scorchful/assets/warped_farm.png" alt="A Piglin protecting its patch of Warped Lillies."/> <center> A Piglin protecting its patch of Warped Lillies. </center> <br/> The Nether is an extreme environment that brings many new perils. It is hotter than even the warmest places of the Overworld, which means water cannot remain in its liquid form so easily there. To stay cool, you will need to carry your own water with you to drink, or you can make use of the **Nether Lillies** found in the Crimson Forest, Warped Forest, and occasionally the Nether Wastes. **Crimson Lillies** evolved in the harsh conditions of The Nether to have large root systems that can absorb the scant moisture from the surrounding Netherrack. They collect and use this moisture as a weapon against many of the Fire-born monsters of The Nether that might threaten it. While this may be an effective defense against many of the native inhabitants of The Nether, it is quite useful to us! Step on the Crimson Lillies for a quick soak, or harvest the water of the more tame **Warped Lillies** for long-term Nether survival. ## Sandstorms <img src="https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/TheDeathlyCow/minecraft-mod-pages/main/scorchful/assets/sandstorm.png" alt="The visual and gameplay effects of sandstorms."/> <center> A Sandstorm begins in the Desert. </center> <br/> **Sandstorms** now form in Deserts and Badlands during weather events. When this happens, a thick sand fog will envelop the player, reducing their visibility but also blocking the heat of the Sun. This is not just a visual effect though. During sandstorms, mobs will be slowed, and **Breezes** will spawn. **Sand Piles** will also begin to accumulate and exposed Cauldrons will also fill with sand, allowing for **Renewable Sand**. Not a fan of survival? No problem! The visual and audio effects of sandstorms can be downloaded as an entirely separate, standalone client-side mod in (https://modrinth.com/mod/immersive-storms)! # Permissions Scorchful is licensed under LGPL-3.0.
