Thirst was Taken is a simple mod that adds a thirst mechanic to the game, but that fits well in modpacks (especially aesthetics-oriented ones) by adding diverse features and compatibility with a lot of often-used mods.

This mod is heavily inspired by the other thirst/survival mods out there, including Dehydration, Tough as Nails, and Cold Sweat.

💧 Water Purity

Water can have 4 different levels of purity, depending on where it was harvested:

If you drink non-purified water, depending on the purity level, you will have a chance to get sick, or worse, poisoned.

Water can be purified on a campfire or a furnace: a campfire will purify it by 1 unit, and a furnace by 2 (meaning it will go from Dirty to Acceptable, for instance).

☀ Climate & Cold Sweat

The hydration depletion speed is biome-dependent, meaning you will get thirsty more easily in hot or dry biomes, and less so in cold or wet ones. Hydration is more relevant than temperature, so building your base in wet biomes is more advisable than doing so in cold ones.

This system is also compatible with Cold Sweat, and will use their more precise temperature calculations if the mod is present in the pack.

🍖 Farmer's Delight & Co.

The stack size for water bottles has been increased to 64, to make them fit with the foods from Farmer's Delight.

Every food item that should quench your thirst added by farmer's delight, respite and brewin and chewin is integrated by default, making teas (or booze) the bestlate-game hydration source.

⚙ Create

A new block is added if you have Create installed: the Sand Filter, which can purify water fed to it by pipes.

💧 Apple Skin

The mod is compatible with apple skin, showing the "quenched" overlay if the mod is present, as well as tooltips for every item that quenches your thirst.
