Body temperature

[tehblooper 0]

In TFC i think body temperature would add some more realism to the game. Like in the winter or when you are in a cold biome you can get cold and get frostbite or hypothermia and to stay warm you need to be near a fire or wear leather this would give leather a use and people would strive to get it instead of skipping over it and going straight to metal armor. Wearing metal armor in winter can make you cold faster. Then in the summer or in the desert you can get heat stroke if out in the sun for to long. wearing nothing in your best choice to stay cool or swim in water. Wearing metal or leather can just make you much hotter.

This has been talked about and I believe some resemblance is getting implemented in either 78 or at least very soon.

well, having clothing is actually better than not wearing anything in hot places, because you can get sunburn, and you'll lose moisture a lot faster. linen clothing would be nice, crafted with wool cloth or string/(spider)silk also, Because the armor thing can kill you (you wear no armor to not over heat, and get killed by a hostile mob), I think clothing worn under armor could be nice too. you can wear wool underclothes under your iron armor in the winter, and linen/silk clothes under your armor under armor in the summer so you can get protection without freezing/overheating

Also warm air inside buildings with heating will be great.

I mean burning a fireplace inside a house makes all house warm and stuff. And if there are holes in walls the whole house will become colder, you know.

This has been suggested and will be implemented for build 78

A lot of things are still left to be coded in b78. This is not one of them. It's been months since I added body temperature. It's pretty basic for the time being, but it adds a much needed balance to the game. Players were living close to the equator because it allowed them to farm year round and they never had to deal with snow. Living in climates that are too cold or hot will eventually kill you, although you can combat it. Being near a source of heat like a fire or forge can warm you in the cold climates (as well as wearing leather armour for when you move around) and you can sit in water when you're hot to cool off. Additionally, sprinting and breaking blocks makes you warmer, so in the cold this can help warm you up, but in the heat running around can kill you. Just makes for a more interesting game.

 

At the moment, heat levels are expressed through personal chat, such as "you feel comfortable", "you feel chilled", or "you feel warm". Bioxx has expressed a desire to re-implement it through a GUI, but no progress towards that has been made so far.

I like it, adding it to the GUI would be nice though.
