About this Mod
🌊 Drink Water — Realistic Hydration System
Drink Water adds a thirst mechanic to Minecraft, allowing players to interact with water in a meaningful and immersive way. The mod enables drinking directly from water source blocks, water cauldrons, and water buckets, creating a survival loop that feels intuitive and natural within the game’s world.
💧 A Complete Thirst Bar System
- Players now have a thirst bar that functions similarly to hunger, representing how hydrated they are during gameplay.
Your thirst gradually decreases over time, encouraging players to plan their journeys and stay hydrated.

🥤 Hydration Through Drinking
- Thirst is restored by drinking water. Players can drink by right-clicking water and standing still for a short, timed interaction, which simulates taking an actual drink and prevents accidental activation.
Each drinking method is carefully validated server-side for consistency and fairness across multiplayer worlds.

🍉 Foods That Hydrate
Several foods now offer realistic hydration bonuses, encouraging players to choose their diet wisely:
- Melons
- Sweet Berries
- Beetroot Soup
These foods naturally contain a high water percentage and help replenish thirst along with hunger.
🥖 Foods That Dehydrate
Some foods are dry and cause your thirst to fall more quickly when eaten:
- Bread
- Cookies
These items slightly increase dehydration to better reflect real-world effects, adding strategic depth to survival choices.
⏳ Timed, Fair, and Consistent Drinking
All drinking actions use a short timed interaction window combined with:
- Item state updates
- Server-side verification
These systems ensure that drinking feels responsive and immersive.
