About this Mod
💧 Hydration 💧
Have you ever wanted minecraft a tiny bit more realistic and an extra required item to survive?
Well in this mod it adds a new water stat bar above the food bar that is required to be filled up and if drops to half a bar you will start to take damage from dehydration!
Water Bar:
There is currently three ways to fill up your thirst bar (suggest more in the comments) which is to:
- Drink water bottles / potions
- Some foods give water (Apple, Melon, Carrot, Beetroot, Sweet Berries, Glow Berries)
- Boil water in a furnace/campfire/smoker to get "Filtered Water" which gives more water bars than anything else
(Made with CCPacks)

Hydration server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.17.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Hydration compatible with fabric?
Hydration officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.17.1, 1.17. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Hydration – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Hydration consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
