Configuration

Settings live in config/thirstwastaken2.json, written on first launch. They can also be changed in game: through Mod Menu on Fabric, or the Mods list on NeoForge.

• Pick a group from the tabs on the left, or type in the search box to find a setting on any page.
• A setting you have changed is shown in amber. The arrow button next to it puts it back.
• Reset to Defaults resets the whole page, Done saves, Cancel discards.
• A file edited by hand is read on the next start.

Thirst

preventSprintingWhenThirsty

Water

sicknessPreset

Default REALISTIC. How bad water makes players ill.

• REALISTIC: Upset Stomach or Poisoning, by difficulty and grade. See Drinking bad water.
• CLASSIC: the Nausea and Poison from before, the same on every difficulty.

defaultPurity

Default 2, Clean. The grade for water that has none, such as drinks from other mods.

canDrinkByHand

Default true. Sneak and use an empty hand on water to drink.

AppleSkin

These settings are client-side and only used while AppleSkin is installed. The exhaustion strip follows AppleSkin's Food Exhaustion HUD Underlay setting.

appleskinQuenchedOverlay

Default DIAMOND. The quenched outline colour: DIAMOND, ICE, GOLD, APPLESKIN or LEGACY, the blue outline of the original Thirst Was Taken. OFF hides the outline and the exhaustion strip.

appleskinTooltipDroplets

Default true. Shows the thirst and quenched droplets in tooltips.

Item values

drinks and foods

Two lists in the file only. Each entry is an item id and its thirst and quenched:

"drinks": {
  "minecraft:potion": [6, 8],
  "thirstwastaken2:terracotta_water_bowl": [4, 5]
}

Ids for mods that are not installed are ignored. Add entries to support another mod.

itemBlacklist

Empty by default. Items listed here restore nothing.

enableDrinkTagMatching

Default true. Items their mod marks as drinks restore drinkTagValue. Items in drinks or foods keep their own value.

drinkTagValue

Default [6, 8], the same as a water bottle.

enableKeywordMatching

Default false. Guesses a value from the item id, so a strawberry_juice from any mod counts as a drink. Guesses can be wrong, but it covers a large modpack quickly.

drinkKeywords, soupKeywords and fruitKeywords

Words matched against the item id, separated by |. Matches are worth keywordDrinkValue, keywordSoupValue or keywordFruitValue. Drinks are checked first, then soups, then fruit.

keywordBlacklist

Words that stop a guess, so melon_seed is not treated as fruit. Only applies to guesses.
