Temperate Core — Environmental Temperature & Survival
The world is no longer just a place to explore. It's an environment you must survive.
Temperate Core adds a lightweight temperature and exposure system to Minecraft, giving cold and hot biomes new survival consequences.
How Does It Work?
Your surrounding biome determines the environmental temperature.
Your armor influences how your character experiences that temperature. Some equipment protects you from the cold, while other equipment provides resistance to heat.
Stay exposed to dangerous conditions long enough, and your character will begin suffering progressively stronger effects.
Cold Exposure
- Level I: Slowness I
- Level II: Slowness I + Weakness I
- Level III: Slowness II + Weakness I
Heat Exposure
- Level I: Hunger I
- Level II: Hunger I + Slowness I
- Level III: Hunger II + Slowness I
Prolonged extreme exposure can also cause periodic damage.
An Immersive HUD
Instead of adding complicated temperature gauges, Temperate Core uses a visual screen overlay.
The edges of your screen gradually change appearance depending on how severely you're affected by cold or heat.
The effect transitions smoothly as your thermal condition changes.
Compatible With Vanilla Survival
Temperate Core enhances existing vanilla armor with thermal statistics.
It does not introduce additional equipment or crafting recipes in this release.
New specialized equipment is planned for Temperate Addon, a separate content mod.
Made for Mod Developers
Temperate Core includes a public Java API that allows other mods to register equipment with custom thermal properties.
It is designed to serve as a foundation for future thermal survival content.
Installation
Requires Minecraft Java Edition 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.20.1 or newer, a compatible Fabric API, and Java 25 or newer.
Install Temperate Core and Fabric API in your mods folder.
Current release: 1.0.0
Note: Multiplayer and external addon integration have not yet been fully tested.
