Nether Heat

The Nether heat is a feature added to the Nether to make it more difficult. While a player is in the Nether, their heat level will increase over time, causing various negative effects.

Once a player enters the Nether, their heat increases by 10% every three minutes, decreasing by 10 seconds every 10% for a minimum of 30 seconds between heat increases. Each time the player's heat level increases, they get effected by the heat.

Players should take caution, as after 100% heat, the player can potentially be killed with a single heat level increase.

Effects of the Heat

 * Decreases the effects of Fire Resistance on the player (becomes removed instantly at 100%)
 * After 50% heat, the player becomes affected by one of the following debuffs:
 * Nausea
 * Slowness
 * Mining Fatigue
 * Weakness
 * After 100% heat, the player is set alight
 * Is damaged depending on the heat level (damage = 2 x heat level)

Reducing the Heat
Drinking a bottle of water reduces the heat level by 10%, and provides immunity from the heat for two minutes. If the player drinks more water during this time, it will reset the two minute immunity.

Alternatively, the player can drink Holy Water to reduce the heat level by 50% and provide five minutes immunity.

Resetting the Heat
In order to reset the heat, the player can either reduce their heat level to 0% by drinking water or Holy Water. The player can also leave the Nether to instantly reset their heat level.
