Aqua-Thirst-hunger 🌊🥪

[!NOTE]
This project is a fork of the original HytaleHungerMod by Aex12.
Special thanks to Aex12 for the solid foundation and to the Hytale modding community for their invaluable resources.


Aqua-Thirst-hunger is an advanced survival mod for Hytale that introduces both Hunger and Thirst mechanics. It expands upon the original work with a deeper focus on realism, difficulty, and integration with other food mods like AndieChef.

✨ Key Features (What's New?)

  • Thirst System: A parallel hydration system with its own HUD, depletion logic, and dehydration effects.
  • AndieChef Integration: Native support for complex foods (Sushi, Yakimeshi, Sake) with hand-tuned values.
  • Hardcore Balance: Default values reduced by 75% for a true survival challenge.
  • Fruit Hydration: Consuming fruits provides a hydration bonus (x5 multiplier).
  • Raw Meat Poisoning: Eating raw meat now carries a risk of poisoning (Poison_T1 effect).
  • Atomic Config Reload: Update your settings in-game via /aquahunger reload without restarting the server.
  • Native Canteen: Includes a craftable Canteen (from inventory or cooking workbench) to restore hydration, essential when no other food mods are present.
  • Universal Compatibility: Support for any food mod; items automatically restore thirst based on their rarity tier unless customized in the config.
  • Enhanced HUD Positioning: Presets for side-by-side Hunger/Thirst bars (BelowHotbarLeft/Right).
  • Idle Resource Conservation: Both thirst and hunger depletion is reduced by 90% when the player is stationary, extending survival during AFK or idle periods.
  • Configuration Versioning & Smart Migration: Robust system (v1.6.1) that automatically updates your config files while preserving your personal customizations and creating backups.

🛠️ Dependencies

  • MultipleHUD: Required for the visual bars to display correctly alongside other HUD elements.

📜 Commands

  • /aquahunger: Main command for hunger management and config reload.
  • /aquathirst: Management for thirst levels.

Features

  • Hunger Bar: A visual representation of the player's hunger level displayed on the HUD.
  • Hunger Depletion: Hunger decreases over time, influenced by actions like stamina usage or mining blocks.
  • Hunger Saturation: Buffer above 100% providing a delay before depletion starts.
  • Preview Hunger Restoration: HUD preview of restoration values during the eating animation.
  • Status Effects: Reduced movement and disabled sprint when hunger is critically low.
  • Starvation Damage: Health depletion when hunger reaches zero.
  • Safe Areas: Depletion is paused in designated invulnerable zones.

Actions affecting hunger

  • Basal Metabolic Rate: Slow depletion even when idle.
  • Stamina usage: Sprinting, blocking, and charged attacks accelerate depletion.
  • Hitting blocks: Small depletion per block hit, reduced by using more efficient tools.

Configuration

This mod creates configuration files under mods/Aqua-Thirst-hunger/.

Hunger Statistics

  • Maximum Hunger: 100 (non-configurable).
  • Initial/Respawn Hunger: Configurable (Default: 50).
  • Starvation Rates: Customizable via HungerConfig.json.

Food Values

  • Tier-based Restoration: Configure values for Common through Unique items in FoodValuesConfig.json (Hunger) and ThirstFoodValuesConfig.json (Thirst).
  • Item Overrides: Specific values for individual items can be defined in both configuration files.

Performance

Optimized for high-population servers:

  • Distributed updates across ticks.
  • Event-driven logic where possible.
  • Partial UI updates to minimize TPS impact.
