Dirty Clothes

Armor and clothing you wear gradually gets dirty from everyday wear — walking, mining, and fighting — and loses protection the dirtier it gets, until you wash it clean.

How it works

Every armor piece (vanilla or modded) tracks a hidden Dirtiness value (0–100%), stored on the item itself.
Dirt builds up from:
- Walking / sprinting (boots, leggings)
- Breaking blocks (boots, leggings)
- Dealing or taking melee damage (chestplate, helmet)
Rain slowly rinses armor while exposed to the sky. Wading or swimming through natural water (rivers, lakes, oceans) rinses it off faster, for free.
Once a piece passes 50% dirty, its Armor and Armor Toughness start dropping — up to −30% / −50% at 100% filthy.
At 80%+ dirtiness on any piece, you'll build hunger exhaustion faster and occasionally puff dust particles.
Hover a dirty armor piece to see its dirtiness tier and percentage, in English or Thai depending on game language.

Washing

Right-click a water cauldron while holding a dirty armor piece to scrub some dirt off. Washing never drains the cauldron's water, so it can be reused freely.
Craft Soap (1 Bone Meal + 2 Cactus → 4 Soap) and right-click a water cauldron while wearing dirty armor to clean everything you're wearing at once, consuming 1 Soap.
Once a piece is fully clean, a cauldron click falls through to vanilla as normal, so dye can still be stripped from leather armor intentionally.
