Drought – Waterless Worldgen

🌵 Drought – Waterless Worldgen

Drought completely removes all naturally generated water from the Overworld, transforming Minecraft into a harsh, dry survival experience.

Oceans vanish. Rivers run dry. Caves are empty and silent. Water is no longer something you stumble upon — it’s something you must earn.
