Description
Essential Nourishment is a survival-orientated mod that adds thirst to the game. Thirst acts very much like hunger, however dehydration is many times faster than starvation and the consequences are more severe. Players can quench their thirst with water bottles, milk buckets and other vanilla items. This mod aims to be as seamless with vanilla Minecraft as possible and it aims to add a whole new dynamic to the way the game is played.

FAQ
<insert some question regarding modpacks>
I don't care. Link back here or not, just don't be a jerk and try to make money off my work. (that's not a problem if you use something like the Technic launcher)
<insert some question regarding reviews>
Go ahead. Message me it if you want. If I like it I may feature it.
What about 1.9?
Once Forge has a stable 1.9 release and this mod is bug free I will start creating versions for 1.9.
What about <insert older version>
There will be no backports, or support for any version other than the latest.
ARGH!! The game crashed and I think it was because of this mod!?!
Please create an issue on github here. The "Issues" link above will also work. Be sure to include the full log or else you will not receive any support.
