Bukkit

Shame this is discontinued but I liked idea so have written a new one :) http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/byte-thirst/

@SilverKytten

That's actually the developers fault for not developing plugins strict to bukkit API. If they are done right, Reload works just fine.

SpoutBar!

Please, add a option to translate "You do not have thirst" :P

@Volodyarom

I join this petition, but for Spout :D

Last version of Thirst
Bukkit 1.3.2

I have found that the error appears when I activate the plugin for "Spout" called "Digilock".

Incompatibility?

Just tried out v1.2. The persistent thirst option works wonderfully. The hunger change, however, is only partially there. I think I miscommunicated the idea.

Now, instead of reducing food points (The visible drumsticks on the gui), it reduces saturation points (The invisible food bar that keeps your food bar from going down right away after you eat something like a steak), but after reducing those to 0, it does nothing to the food bar.

The way hunger works in Minecraft is that when you eat something, it increases the visible food bar by a certain amount, and also increase the saturation (invisible food bar) by a certain amount. Then, as you do things that make you more hungry, like sprinting, fighting, jumping, etc, it slowly reduces them.

But, the important thing is that every time it goes to reduce the food bar, it checks to see if there is any saturation left. If there is, it reduces that instead of the food bar. If the saturation is empty, then it reduces the food bar instead.

You can tell when the saturation is empty because that's when your food bar starts jiggling, and it starts going down. Saturation is why you can eat a few cookies, and the food bar starts going down again pretty soon, but you can eat some bread, and the food bar doesn't start jiggling or going down for quite a while.

For example, if you are starving, eating three cookies gives you 6 food points (three drumsticks). Eating one piece of bread gives you 5 food points (2.5 drumsticks). But you'll be back to starving again much faster with the cookies than with the bread, because each cookie gives 0.4 saturation, so three cookies is 1.2 saturation (or 0.6 invisible drumsticks). The single piece of bread, however, gives 6 saturation (3 invisible drumsticks), and those invisible drumsticks (saturation) have to get used up before hunger starts reducing your visible food bar.

(See Hunger, under the Food level and saturation level restoration section for specific amounts)

Anyway, sorry for the long-winded explanation, but the short version is that before thirst hunger damage only removed from the food bar, and didn't touch saturation. Now it removes from saturation, but doesn't touch the food bar.

What would probably work better is to have it act like normal hunger increasing actions, and try to inflict hunger damage to the saturation first, if it's there. Once saturation is empty, *then* start removing from the visible food bar. So if someone had just eaten a piece of bread and had 6 saturation points and 5 food points, hunger damage from thirst would remove saturation points until it was at 0. Then, it would start removing food points.

Again, sorry to go on so long, but I figured it was better to over explain than under explain.

Incidentally, I'm planning on linking to your Thirst plug-in on my Hunger++ plug-in page, since I think they work very well together, and I think people that are interested in the Hunger++ plug-in would very likely be interested in Thirst. I hope you don't mind.

Thanks again for your prompt response!
