Drought – Waterless Worldgen
Drought completely removes all naturally generated water from the Overworld, transforming Minecraft into a harsh, dry survival experience.
Oceans vanish. Rivers run dry. Caves are empty and silent. Water is no longer something you stumble upon — it's something you must earn.
