Scorchful Mod (26.1.2, 1.20.1) – Heat and Desert Survival

Scorchful Mod is inspired by the Dune universe and focuses on enhancing the survival experience in hot environments. Surviving in hot biomes and in the Nether will become more challenging – you’ll need to maintain your moisture and stay cool by drinking plenty of water, cooling off in rivers, pouring a bucket of water over yourself, or wearing special armor. The Nether, in turn, will become an extreme environment full of new dangers. In addition, in desert and mesa biomes, you may encounter sandstorms that reduce visibility but bring a refreshing coolness.
