i have been Playing so now that the server is Ready™ here are my tips for not burning or freezing or thirstying to death in this Server With Tough As Nails Installed

WATER:

• ...ok water is pretty easy just Drink sometimes.
• somehow it's probably easier to get an iron flask first than the leather one that's supposed to be the starter one. this is due to finding cows is hard maybe it's just a me problem idk.
• when you have a base going & the resources to do so i suggest making a water purifier. that way you can filter water with cheap & plentiful Talled Grass (as long as you have shears) (there's other options but grass is easy to acquire)
• ...i'm looking at the wiki now and you can also make a rain collector to get fresh water over time maybe i should've been doing that
• if you can find a "water cleansing" enchantment in a chest this makes it so the water in the canteen you put it on will always be fresh. But you still gotta drink it #wouter
• oh and you can make Juice which is even better at hydrating you but i barely use it tbh thirst doesn't go down fast enough to justify the effort

TEMPERATURE:

• this is the more annoying one sorry. i feel like i'm always experiencing excessively hot or cold temperatures. oh and in the minecraft server too haha just some poor temperature regulation humor
• the easiest way is to carry around an item with "Cooling" or "Heating" in the description in your offhand. carrying ice cubes/a torch is Comically effective at fending off temperatures. the only downside is No Shield Possibilities (well and you do have to switch it out when you experience another temperature or if it becomes Too effective)
• sadly like Every light source that i know of (except soul fire which is cold) is heating so carrying one around in a cave will burn you to death sowwy esp once you get down to the lava layer
• at your base, have a thermoregulator to ensure it's Good Temperatures All The Time. and just don't have your base in a really cold/hot area in general i guess
• if you find a "thermal tuning" enchantment put it on your chesplate and from what i can tell this means you can ignore the temperature mechanic completely forever yay. well unless you let your chestplate break
• the leaf and wool armor isn't worth it tbh they barely work as armor lol

Ok thank you for read go not die now

I have a datapack where I'm doing fine-tuning (I need to figure out how to publish this information in a readable way) so I'm always open to suggestions! I was the one that added ice cubes and torches because I did want an easy temp adjuster and I also did feel like holding a live flame a foot from your face would have consequences.

One of the origins gives you thermal tuning by default if you want to bypass temperature entirely.

I'm trying to hit a good balance but it's going to take a lot of tweaking. I included this mod for Immersion -- not difficulty -- so I've been trying to nerf it substantially.

My own experiences:

• I actually do use the leaf armor but that's because I don't do a lot of combat lol. I want more cooling armor items that look less goofy but I couldn't find a lot that would have made sense. If I had my way I'd add some sort of lining system tho I acknowledge that would be annoying.
• In hot areas that I go to frequently, I usually have a patch of water that I can stand in. Just standing up to your ankles is good enough. This leads to some funny situations. While trading with the queen in Bumblezone I'm usually standing in a block of water because her room is full of candles.
