# Thermometer

## 🌡️ Guide: The Thermometer & Surviving the Seasons

In this world, the weather isn't just for show—the temperature directly impacts your survival. To avoid freezing to death or suffering from heatstroke, the Thermometer is your most essential tool.

### What is the Thermometer?

The Thermometer is a specialized item that tracks your current temperature in °C in real-time. Since your temperature fluctuates constantly based on where you are and what you do, this tool helps you take action before it’s too late.

### How is your Temperature calculated?

Your temperature isn't just a static number; it is a dynamic value influenced by several environmental and physical factors. 

#### 1. Biomes & Seasons

Every biome and season has a base temperature. In every season the temperature might change look at [<mark style="color:$primary;">Season System</mark>](/system/season-system.md) for more info.

#### 2. Environmental Factors

* Time of Day: Temperatures drop significantly at night.
* Weather: Rain cools you down; thunderstorms even more so.
* Altitude: The higher you climb (e.g., mountains), the colder it gets.

#### 3. Gear & Behavior

* Armor: Heavy armor retains heat. Great for winter, but a death trap in the desert.
* Physical Activity: Sprinting generates body heat.
* Consumables: Eating certain foods can temporarily affect how your body handles the climate.
* Submersion: Jumping into water helps fight heat, while lava will spike your temperature instantly.

#### ❄️ In Extreme Cold

* Heat Sources: Stay close to torches, lit furnaces, or campfires.
* Insulation: Wear a full set of armor to trap body heat.
* Shelter: Go underground or stay inside buildings to block the wind and height modifiers.
* Stay Active: Keep sprinting to slightly raise your core temperature.

#### ☀️ In Extreme Heat

* Cool Down: Jump into a river or the ocean.
* Seek Shade: Avoid direct sunlight; stay under trees or inside caves.
* Remove Armor: Heavy gear acts as insulation—take it off to let your skin breathe.
* Relocate: If possible, leave deserts or savannas during the peak afternoon sun.
