# Temperature

To survive in this world, you must maintain a neutral body temperature. Extreme environments can lead to Hypothermia or Overheating, both of which deal continuous damage. Your temperature fluctuates based on the biome, nearby blocks, time of day, weather, and whether you are indoors.

**Cold Biomes**

* Recommended Gear: Wool Armor and Campfires.
* Pro Tip: Standard Campfires (not the soul variants) provide significant warmth, making them essential for building or exploring in frozen regions.

**Hot Biomes**

* Recommended Gear: Jelled Slime Armor and a Water Bucket.
* Pro Tip: Use a Water Bucket to submerge yourself when it gets too hot or to quickly quench your thirst. Soul Campfires cool the player down significantly and are ideal for bases in hot areas.

**General Survival Tips**

* Base Building: It is highly recommended to build your main base in a Temperate Biome.
* Sources: Avoid standing directly next to extreme heat/cold sources like lava pools or ice blocks unless necessary.
* Armor Regulation: Most armor sets help regulate temperature. However, Wool and Jelled Slime armor are specialized to actively heat or cool you.
