This is a fairly simple suggestion, inspired by the items harad robes and water (in cups).

I have wandered the desert for a long time, and have found that heat damage is nothing to be concerned about. I wear armour, and the damage is almost nothing, and spaced far enough apart that with a little food, you don't ahve to worry about it at all. I suggest that heat damage is given a major buff, but it builds up.

When you enter the desert, I propose that for a little while the damage inflicted by the great sun-god is as minimal as it is now. But after you have been in it for a little amount of time, you get the effect thirst. Thirst is buffed if you are sprinting, and nerfed if you are riding, but in the desert, you cannot escape the need for water. The longer you have thirst, more and faster damage is inflicted upon you. The way to get rid of this effect is, you guessed it, drinking water! This would also add a further use for camps and the occasional oasis, allowing you to stock up your supply of the vital drink. Alchoholic beverages briefly quench your thirst, but in the long term increase your thirst. Thirst would be non-existant or very minimal in biomes other than the Desert, and Red desert. Leave suggestions, flattery and insults in the comments, and please kudo!
