Features

When installing SubData 5 (as easy as drag-and-dropping the pack into your world while creating) and choosing the “Default” world generation preset, you will enter a Minecraft world consisting of only the Vanilla Desert biome. No oceans, no surface water, only sand, stone, sandstone.

Alongside this modified world generation, SubData 5 introduces:

• A temperature bar, which reaches from burning hot (when standing in the sun for too long, or fire/lava) to freezing cold (mostly when underground; the deeper, the colder). When standing in water or inside, heat is significantly reduced. When moving (jumping, sprinting, or de-/crouching quickly), it is increased.
• A hydration bar, which depletes and does so more quickly when moving a lot, being in warmer environments, and being in dryer environments (Nether!). It can be refilled with standard water bottles, or later with some food items.
• New tools and armour to counter the temperature and live a more enjoyable life in the desert.
• New “blocks” to manufacture and process the new items, materials, and armour sets.

Versions

In general, it is recommended to always use the latest version of SD5. If there are any problems arising from that, please get in touch, as the goal is for the latest version to also be the “best” (in any regard, basically).

With respect to in-game versions, Modrinth automatically detects them from the files. There will (probably) be no stage at which SD5 will stop supporting versions once supported; so there will only ever be more, newer versions supported, not less. For example, when installing SD5 on a version prior to 1.21.10, the pack will intelligently apply a different way of worldgen used in those versions.

If the SubData 5 version you want to install doesn’t officially support the latest version, it probably still works. When working with datapacks, there is a high chance the things that worked previously just still do. So instead of waiting for an official patch, you could just ignore the warning and apply the pack either way. We state no guarantee (of that not breaking anything) though, of course.
