Dirty Clothes

Dirty Clothes

Armor and clothing you wear gradually gets dirty from everyday wear — walking, mining, and fighting — and loses protection the dirtier it gets, until you wash it clean.

How it works

• Every armor piece (vanilla or modded) tracks a hidden Dirtiness value (0–100%), stored on the item itself.

• Dirt builds up from:

  • Walking / sprinting (boots, leggings)
  • Breaking blocks (boots, leggings)
  • Dealing or taking melee damage (chestplate, helmet)

• Rain slowly rinses armor while exposed to the sky. Wading or swimming through natural water (rivers, lakes, oceans) rinses it off faster, for free.

• Once a piece passes 50% dirty, its Armor and Armor Toughness start dropping — up to −30% / −50% at 100% filthy.

• At 80%+ dirtiness on any piece, you'll build hunger exhaustion faster and occasionally puff dust particles.

• Hover a dirty armor piece to see its dirtiness tier and percentage, in English or Thai depending on game language.

  What dirty armor costs you

  Once a piece crosses a configurable dirtiness threshold, its **Armor** and
  **Armor Toughness** start dropping — scaled to that piece's own base stats,
  so a filthy helmet only ever weakens itself, not your whole suit. Get filthy
  enough (80%+ by default) and you'll also pick up extra hunger and visible
  stink particles.

Washing it off

• **Water cauldron:** right-click to partially clean one piece at a time.
  Never drains the cauldron.
• **Soap:** craft with 1 Bone Meal + 2 Cactus → 4 Soap. Right-click a
  cauldron with Soap in hand to fully clean your *entire* equipped set at
  once — and grants a temporary **Freshly Washed** buff (10 minutes by
  default) that blocks new dirt from building up at all while it lasts.
• Rain and wading/swimming in natural water both rinse dirt off slowly on
  their own, no cauldron needed.

Wetness & cross-mod temperature integration (currently 1.20.1 only)

Separately from Dirtiness, armor also tracks how **wet** it is — soaked by
rain or water, drying off on its own over time (faster if you stand near a
campfire, fire, soul fire, or lava). If you have **Tough As Nails** installed,
wet armor will make you feel colder, scaled by how many pieces are wet — a
fully soaked outfit is noticeably chillier than a single damp glove. This
integration is entirely optional: nothing changes if you don't have Tough As
Nails installed, and it can be turned off in the config either way.

Fully configurable

Every number in this mod — dirt-gain rates and amounts, the armor-penalty
curve, rinse/wash amounts, wetness gain/dry rates, temperature-drop caps, the
Freshly Washed buff duration, and more — is adjustable live from an in-game
config screen (no restart needed), reachable from the mod's entry on the Mods
list. Compatible with mods like **First Aid** that show their own armor
tooltip: a toggle lets you hide this mod's own "+X/-X Armor" tooltip lines
without disabling the actual stat penalty.
