Thirst

Thirst

Adds a thirst system to Minecraft Bedrock: a water meter next to the hunger bar, dehydration effects, and a real need to drink.

Features

• Thirst bar. Ten water droplets above the hunger bar that empty from left to right. There are 20 levels in total, with one droplet equal to two.
• Activity matters.
  • Thirst drains slowly while idle.
  • Sprinting drains it faster, and jumping faster still.
  • Thirst drains 1.5x faster in the Nether.
  • The bar doesn't drain while you're in water.
• Dehydration.
  • At 3 droplets or fewer you get Slowness.
  • At 1.5 droplets or fewer you also get Weakness and Mining Fatigue.
  • With an empty bar you take periodic damage.
• What restores thirst:

• Detailed droplet icons. Outlined, shaded, with a highlight, and dark-filled when empty.
• Game modes. The bar is hidden and thirst is disabled in Creative and Spectator.
• Respawn. The bar is fully restored after death.

Installation

1. Download the .mcaddon file and open it, and it imports into Minecraft automatically.
2. When creating or editing a world, enable both packs: Thirst (behavior pack) and Thirst HUD (resource pack).
3. If the game asks you to enable experimental features, turn them on.

Compatibility

• Minecraft Bedrock Edition 26.30 or newer (tested on 26.52).
• The addon passes the thirst level through the title screen and hides its vanilla display. /title commands and addons that rely on them may not show.
• If the bar disappears or a dark square shows up in the middle of the screen after a game update, please report it in the comments.

Debugging

/scriptevent thirst:set 10 sets your thirst level (0–20) for testing.
