Im trying to figure out how to add a thirst bar to my mod

[Cosmic_Israel]

I am making a large complete overhaul mod in minecraft 1.15 that is survival based.

I want to work on thirst, I want the end state of it to be like the hunger bar but just directly above it. I am looking into gui for that but I really don't know where to start. I believe player capabilities is the way to go but if I am wrong I want to 

pointed in the right direction. I also don't know if I can just put the code into my com.username.modid (I wrote all of that correctly I just don't want people reading the modid or my username for reasons.) I am writing my code in Eclipse and I would love to get some direction in the way of thirst. Basically my goal just like hunger is so you can have items that will restore the thirst and by standing on a water block that restores it as well. Overtime and through running thirst goes down and if it goes down all the way the player takes damage.

 

As I said before I think it is through capabilities but I really cannot tell.

Player capabilities is what you would use to store and interact with the data. For rendering you should use the RenderGameOverlayEvent.

Make sure you only render once per tick. The RenderGameOverlayEvent fires for each HUD element, pick one to use.
