Thermometer

#BioForge #BioForge_V2_0 #Build_V0_54T #Item #Tool #LegacyUpdated

Registry ID: bioforge:thermometer.

#Tools The Thermometer measures the body temperature of players and mobs. It detects fever (high temp) or hypothermia (low temp), which are symptoms of infections in the mod.

How to use it

Action	Result
Left‑click (empty air or block)	Shakes the thermometer - makes it ready for use.
Right‑click on air	Measures your own temperature.
Shift + Right‑click on a mob	Measures that mob’s temperature.

• After each measurement, the thermometer enters a 3‑second cooldown and becomes unready (needs shaking again).
• You can see the last reading in the item’s tooltip, displayed in °C, °F, and K.

Temperature logic

• Normal: ~36.6 °C → tooltip shows green text.
• High fever (≥38.5 °C) → red text → indicates TEMPERATURE_PLUS symptom.
• Low temp (≤35.5 °C) → blue/cyan text → indicates TEMPERATURE_MINUS symptom.

These temperature extremes come from the target’s InfectionData (symptoms like fever or chills).

Cooldown & internal NBT

• The thermometer stores the last reading, target name.
• After use, it enters a 3000 ms cooldown.
• You must shake it again before taking a new reading.

Interaction with other systems

• Clipboard integration - If you have a patient assigned with the Clipboard, the temperature is automatically recorded.
• Tags - Entities with the no_thermometer or no_diagnostics tag cannot be measured (e.g., skeletons, armour stands, non‑living things).
