Compatibility

While this mod is designed to be as compatible as possible with other mods, it is inevitable that issues will arise. Specific incompatibilities will be documented here as they become known.

• Hephaestus / Tinker's Construct: Temperature bar not showing up. FIX: set extraHeartRenderer to false in the mantle-client.toml config.

Other Temperature Mods

Most other temperature mods do not work with Scorchful's temperature system and likely never will. Running Scorchful with these mods is redundant as they also add their own temperature system in addition to Scorchful. These mods may technically run together, however, if you want to have a cold temperature system with Scorchful, I would recommend using Frostiful instead, as Scorchful was made to work together with Frostiful.

All of the following temperature mods should not be used with Scorchful (note that this list is not exhaustive; these are just the ones I've heard of):

• PyroFrost
• EnvironmentZ
• Thermite
• Tough as Nails
• Cold Sweat
• Homeostatic
• Metabolism

For the mods that add thirst - Dehydration is integrated with Scorchful and does not add a temperature system. A new thirst mod called Thirstful is also currently a work in progress.
