FAQ

Do players need the mod to join?

Yes. The bar is drawn by the client, so a vanilla client sees nothing while the server keeps draining thirst in the background. Put the jar in the pack.

Why can I not sprint?

Thirst is at 6 or below. Drink something, or turn preventSprintingWhenThirsty off.

Why is my health not coming back?

The same reason. Natural healing waits until thirst is nearly full, and the food it would have cost you is refunded so you do not starve while you look for water.

I changed the config and nothing happened

If you edited the file by hand, restart the game or the server. If you used the Mod Menu screen while connected to someone else's server, only the four HUD settings applied, because the rest come from the server.

Can I turn thirst off for one player?

Yes, with /thirst enable. It is saved with that player, so it survives a relog.

A drink from another mod does nothing

Its id is not in the lists. Add it to drinks in the config file, or switch on keyword matching and let the mod guess.

Is Create required?

No, and it does nothing right now. The Create Fly integration is broken and turned off, so the Sand Filter cannot be crafted until a later release. Mod Menu only adds the settings button, and nothing else here needs another mod.

Does it work on Peaceful?

Thirst refills by itself there unless you turn thirstDepletionInPeaceful on.

What about the original mod's other features?

The fork is not finished. FORK-STATUS.md tracks what carried over, what this fork adds, what is waiting on other mods to update, and what is missing.
