The thirst mechanic adds a new hydration bar that follows the same logic as the vanilla hunger bar (hydration + hydration saturation).

Every actions will consume a bit of hydration. 

Just as temperature, this feature is highly configurable.

The hydration system interacts with the temperature system. Hot temperature will increase your thirst bar exhaustion.

To hydrate yourself, you can drink directly by right-clicking on a water block with an empty hand. Be careful though, dirty water can get you thirsty easily. (Hunger effect for thirst)

Water can be purified with furnaces. Purified water will give hydration saturation. Water can be stored in canteens. Looking up and pressing right-click when it's raining will make you drink clean rain water.

New plants & juices are added to go along with the hydration system.

Heat Resistance Ring : Loot in desert temples (+3°C of heat resistance)

Cold Resistance Ring : Loot in Nether Bastions (+3°C of cold resistance)

The localized body damage is inspired by the mechanic of Fallout games that splits the limbs health and the players health.  

Each damage will be attributed as accurately as possible to a specific limb.

Press H to open player limbs menu.

Broken limbs now have specific harmful effects, such as headache, vulnerability and hard falling.

**description_0968bb79-efdd-417a-bc5b-594565c94faa.png Projectile Head damages are doubled. Wear a Helmet !  **   description_0968bb79-efdd-417a-bc5b-594565c94faa.png

Limbs will need to be repaired by using healing items.

Here is a list of the effects linked to every limb damages

Head = Headache (periodic blindness)

Body = Vulnerability (All damages are 20% stronger per level)

Arms = Weakness (one arm) & Mining Fatigue (both arms)

Legs = Hard Falling (1 & 2)

Feet = Slowness (1 & 2)

**Health Overhaul**

The Health Overhaul provides few features to both ease and improve the challenge around player health.

First of all, it provides a way to increase the player maximum health via 2 new items :

The Heart Fragments and the Heart Containers.

You can find Heart Fragments here :

Buried Treasure

Jungle Temple

Abandoned Mineshaft

Bastion Treasure

It also introduces the concept of Broken Heart.

Broken Hearts diminishes temporarly the player max health when a limb is fully damaged.

Be aware to not let your limbs broken, as the number of Broken Hearts inflicted is proportional to the player maximum health.

The Broken Hearts are countered by a newly introduced attribute : the Resilient Hearts. No matter how much Broken Hearts you get, the player will always keep its Resilient Hearts.

Finally, the Health Overhaul allows the player to keep the "Absorption Heart" given by the Golden Apple under the name of Shield Hearts. Those Shield Hearts are consumed when losing health, but won't disappear over time.

Even if not enabled by default, there is also the possibility to configure a loss of heart upon player's death. And the loss of heart is countered by a newly introduced attribute : the Permanent Hearts. A player won't lose the Permanent Hearts upon death.

_The health overhaul is highly configurable. Here is a list of the things you can tweak :_

Adjust the number of Broken Hearts inflicted due to fully damaged limbs

Adjust the maximum additional health a player can get via the Heart Containers

Adjust the maximum Shield Hearts a player can get via the Golden Apple (or any Absorption Effect)

Enable or not the conversion of temporary absorption hearts into permanent Shield Hearts

Adjust how much hearts a player lose upon death

Configure the default Resilient Hearts and the default Permanent Hearts of the player

Configure a new initial health for the players (by default, players start with 20 health = 10 hearts)

**Other Features**

 - The debug screen menu (F3) will hide localization informations

 - Compass, clocks and calendars have more infos on right-click or in a frame.

 - New message when trying to use bonemeal on crops when the season won't allow it.

 - New base hunger exhaustion (useful if you disable the player's natural regeneration)
