I was playing the other day and noticed that you can drink a bottle of water. I do not see why this is so, but it got me thinking: What if we had thirst in Minecraft?
The thirst bar would deplete quicker than the hunger bar, and you could drink a bottle of water, a bottle of milk, a bucket of water, or a bucket of milk. The milk would quench your thirst the same amount as the water, but it would keep you that way longer, as milk is far harder to come by.
One of the major problems with this is that it would add another bar to the HUD, which is something we don't really need. That's why I think the meter should, perhaps, be vertical, and along the side of the screen.
It seems kind of pointless, just another method to make your life a painful process in the world of Minecraft, besides what about players that spawn in the desert with no trees or water to be found before they start dying of thirst? This would also create major problems for nether exploration, as there is no water in the nether nor any way to place a bucket of it to refill your water bottles. Another problem is that adding a heat function would be necessary,and as water boils in the nether instantly, I would hate to be the extra crispy Steve who decided to walk in there without any fire protection armor...
MY OPINION: it would make for an interesting mechanic, however I think that Mojang thought about this when they first input the hunger bar idea. No support.
There are several mods that add thirst but I agree with blackfire853, there usually is no benefit. Maybe some of the mods have something like how full hunger lets you sprint and such, but I never looked too much into it.
But do look around at some of the mods.
This was added to minez and all you do is drink and take 2 steps then die of dehydration.
Lets say they add this. so now you have to carry water and food. you cannot mine much because your inventory is full of food and water. Then they add a weighted inventory. Forget mining because if you load up on food and water and mining tools your at max and cannot mine anything.
