It slowly decreases over time and also drops when sprinting, jumping, or swimming. Eating restores Hunger, but raw or uncooked food restores less and can reduce Hygiene and give you negative effects. - **Thirst**: New survival need that decreases over time, you need to drink clean water, milk, soups, stews, coffee, tea, or hydration potions. Thirst drops over time and decreases faster during physical activity and in the Nether. Dirty water can be purified in a furnace or turned into drinkable water using a brewing stand. Drinking from beach and swamp biomes is not recommended! - **Energy**: Slowly decreases during the day and drops faster when sprinting, jumping, mining, attacking, or swimming. Sleeping restores Energy and you can also take a short daytime nap if you are very tired. - **Hygiene**: Slowly decreases over time and drops faster when mining, fighting, taking damage, killing mobs, eating raw food, or eating rotten flesh. You can clean yourself by standing in water or rain, but swamp water makes Hygiene worse. Soap can also be used while in water to clean yourself and gain a temporary bonus. - **Bladder**: Drinking and some foods affect your bladder.

It increases when you stay near players, villagers, pets, or domesticated animals, and also when interacting or trading with villagers. !(https://i.imgur.com/0y2HQZN.png) --- ### Effects ✨ <br> **Positive Effects** - **Well Fed:** Regeneration I. - **Hydrated:** Speed I. - **Well Rested:** Haste I. - **Inspired:** Luck I. - **In Good Company:** Luck I. - **Fresh:** Resistance I. - **Relieved:** Jump Boost I. - **Pleasant Scent:** Granted after using Soap.
