This mod transforms the Minecraft survival experience by giving the player a moisture bar, just like a fish!
Features:
A visible moisture bar that slowly depletes while on land.
When your moisture runs out, you begin to take damage.
Stay hydrated by swimming, standing in rain, or touching water.
No air bubbles HUD — mining speed and movement in water are as fast as on land.
Spawn near water on world creation and respawn without a bed.
Configurable depletion speed, damage interval, and more via the generated config file.
Great for:
Ocean survival challenges
Roleplay as a merfolk, aquatic creature, or stranded fish
Custom hardcore maps where water is your lifeline
