WaterBarPlugin is a comprehensive Minecraft survival plugin that introduces a realistic thirst mechanic to enhance gameplay immersion. Players must manage their water levels by collecting, purifying, and consuming water to survive. The plugin features dynamic biome-based water depletion, custom water items, purification systems, and configurable effects, making survival more challenging and engaging.<\/p>\n
Features
\nDynamic Thirst System:
\nPlayers have a water level that depletes over time based on the biome they are in. Hot biomes cause faster water loss, cold biomes slower, and default biomes moderate loss.<\/p>\n
Custom Water Items:<\/p>\n
Dirty Water: Can be collected from natural water sources with an 80% chance. Causes poison when consumed but restores a small amount of water.
\nClean Water: Can be obtained by purifying dirty water. Safe to drink and restores a larger amount of water.
\nWater Collection:
\nPlayers can collect water by right-clicking water or waterlogged blocks with a glass bottle. The plugin ensures realistic chances for dirty vs. clean water.<\/p>\n
Water Purification:<\/p>\n
Campfire Purification: Dirty water can be purified using a campfire with a custom campfire recipe.
\nFurnace Purification: Dirty water can be purified in a furnace. The plugin listens to furnace smelting events to convert dirty water to clean water.
\nCrafting Recipe:
\nPlayers can craft dirty water by combining a glass bottle and dirt.<\/p>\n
Thirst Effects:<\/p>\n
Drinking dirty water applies poison effects.
\nLow water levels apply slowness to simulate dehydration.
\nWhen water reaches zero, players take periodic damage until they drink water.
\nVisual Feedback:
\nWater level is displayed on the player\u2019s XP bar for a smooth and intuitive indicator.<\/p>\n
Configurable:
\nAll key parameters such as water loss rates, restore amounts, potion effect durations, and damage settings are configurable via config.yml.<\/p>\n
Robust Event Handling:
\nHandles player join, respawn, interaction, item consumption, and furnace events to maintain consistent and bug-free gameplay.<\/p>\n
Async Player Data Management:
\nPlayer water levels are saved asynchronously to prevent server lag and data loss.<\/p>\n
Permission-Based Commands:
\nProvides commands for players and admins to check water levels and give water items.<\/p>\n

\n1. Water Level Management
\nTracks each player\u2019s water level as a double value (0 to 100). Water depletes periodically based on biome-specific loss rates. Water levels are saved and loaded from a persistent YAML file asynchronously.<\/p>\n
\nPlayers collect water by right-clicking water or waterlogged blocks with glass bottles. The plugin differentiates dirty and clean water using persistent data keys on custom potion items.<\/p>\n
\nPurification is handled via campfire recipes and furnace smelting events. Dirty water smelted in a furnace or cooked on a campfire converts to clean water with XP rewards.<\/p>\n
\nDrinking dirty water applies configurable poison effects. Low water levels apply slowness. When water reaches zero, a repeating task damages the player periodically until water is restored or the player dies.<\/p>\n
\nWater level is shown on the XP bar. Action bar messages notify players of low water and dehydration status without spamming.<\/p>\n
\nAll parameters including biome water loss rates, potion effect durations, damage amounts, and recipe timings are configurable in config.yml for server owners to balance gameplay.<\/p>\n
\nThe plugin carefully manages inventory changes, prevents exploits, and cancels dehydration tasks on player death or respawn to ensure smooth gameplay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
