Fruitful Thirst

Quickstart

1. In Survival, watch the thirst meter in your action bar. It starts full and drains over time.
2. Fill a glass bottle at water to get a water bottle. At a crafting table, combine it with fruit or another listed ingredient to make a drink; the recipes are shapeless.
3. Select a drink and use it to restore thirst. It leaves an empty glass bottle.
4. For a reusable way to drink outdoors, craft a Life Straw. Aim at water within six blocks and use it.

Overview

Fruitful Thirst adds a thirst meter, craftable drinks with different hydration amounts and effects, and a reusable Life Straw. A Brine Spider also appears as a hostile mob in dark areas.

What It Adds

• Thirst meter: A ten-pip meter shown in the action bar in non-Creative play. When swimming, the bar also shows air pips.
• Drinks: Apple, melon, sweet berry, glow berry, chorus fruit, carrot, golden apple, honey, and prickly pear juices, plus filtered water.
• Life Straw: Drinks from nearby water without consuming the straw.
• Brine Spider: A climbing mob that can poison you when it hits.

How To Use

Drink any juice or filtered water by selecting it and using it. Each restores the amount shown below, up to the thirst meter’s maximum of 100, and returns a glass bottle.

To use a Life Straw, point your view at a water block no more than six blocks away and use the straw. It restores 35 thirst each time. It works on still or flowing water.

Crafting And Obtaining

Make drinks and the Life Straw at a crafting table. Drink recipes use a water bottle; arrange ingredients in any pattern.

A Life Straw can also rarely appear in a chest. Its spawn egg is available in the Creative inventory.

Abilities And Mechanics

Thirst drains by one point about every 30 seconds; sprinting drains an additional point on that interval. When thirst reaches zero, you have about a minute before it begins damaging you, then you take damage periodically until you drink. Creative players do not have an active thirst meter.

Some drinks have extra effects:

• Apple Juice: Restores half a heart.
• Glow Berry Juice: Grants night vision for 20 seconds.
• Golden Apple Juice: Grants regeneration for 5 seconds and absorption for 30 seconds.
• Honey Drink: Removes poison and grants regeneration for 3 seconds.
• Chorus Fruit Juice: Attempts to teleport you a short distance.

Progression And Strategy

Keep water bottles and ingredients on hand to prepare drinks before long trips. Melon Juice, Filtered Water, and Prickly Pear Juice provide especially large thirst refills; a Life Straw is useful when traveling near water. Avoid letting the meter stay empty: drink before the damage begins.

Brine Spiders spawn in dark areas on Easy through Hard difficulty. They climb, deal damage with their attacks, and inflict poison for five seconds on a hit. Some may have a skeleton-type rider.
