About this Mod
This project is no longer updated. It has been merged into my master mod, Red's Survival Overhaul
This is a mod that adds a temperature system to Minecraft, inspired by Tough as Nails. As you journey throughout your minecraft world, your temperature will go up and down, and getting too cold or too hot will have consequences. Fortunately, there are ways to protect yourself from the elements! Standing near a campfire, torch, lava, etc will keep you warm whereas standing in water, on ice, or near a soul campfire / torch etc will keep you cool. Some biomes are naturally warm (eg. jungles), some are naturally cool (eg. snowy plains), some are burning hot (the nether), and some are freezing cold (the end). Only by preparing yourself extremely well will you be able to brave the cold and heat.
Config:
(Almost) everything inside this mod is customizable! Config is stored at .minecraft/config/monderntemperature-common.toml and contains various values such as which blocks will keep you cool or warm when you stand near them, the default temperature of various biomes, and how much insulation armor gives you.
FAQ:
Q: How do I know my temperature value in game?
A: Depending on how you've customized the client configs, there will either be a numerical reading in the top left, a gauage about your hotbar that changes colors based on your temperature, or you can run the /temperature get command to get the exact value.
Q: Fabric port?
A: No! Although, out of all my mods, this one is the one I'm most likely to port.
Q: I have a question / issue / bug report!
A: Come report it on the issue tracker here!
