Sweaty Feet adds a new mechanic: wear boots too long and your feet will sweat. Sweaty Feet (the effect) escalates through three levels; leave it unchecked and you'll catch a fungal infection that can even spread to other players. Meanwhile the sweat can be poured into bottles as items, brewed into buff drinks, or you can just fill a Wash Basin and wash your feet.
The whole gameplay is one loop: wear boots → sweat builds up → pour sweat or ferment → neglect it and get infected → soak to cure.
Sweating: wearing any boots starts a timer; 2/4/6 cumulative minutes reach Sweaty Feet levels 1/2/3 (configurable). In the Nether sweat builds up twice as fast. From level 2 your feet slip; at level 3 holding sweaty boots causes nausea, and sweaty boots dropped on the ground emit a stench.
Pouring: hold a sweated-in boot in your main hand and an empty glass bottle in your offhand, then sneak + right-click to pour out a Sweat Bottle. Levels 1–2 only yield plain bottles; at level 3 the sweat transmutes — leather/iron/gold/diamond/netherite boots produce the matching flavored bottle (Rich / Rusty / Gilded / Crisp / Sulfurous), each with its own color and bonus effect; boots of other materials still give a plain level-3 bottle.
Fermenting: craft Fermented Boots from leather boots + sugar (1 armor point, same as leather) and wear them to ferment your sweat. Pouring at level 3 with Fermented Boots yields a buff Drink instead of a flavored bottle — granting Speed, Jump Boost, Strength and Luck all at once.
Infection: keep wearing boots past level 3 (60 more seconds by default, configurable) and you catch Foot Fungus: damage over time, constant sneezing, bare feet stink, and nearby players get infected. The fungus never heals on its own, and taking your boots off doesn't help.
Washing sweat off: take your boots off and stand in water or on a Wash Basin to wash — 15 seconds base, longer at higher levels (30s at level 2, 45s at level 3); leaving the water resets the timer. Pouring sweat does not remove Sweaty Feet, and taking boots off only degrades one level per 60 seconds — soaking is the direct cure.
Curing fungus: clean water won't touch the fungus. Craft Floral Water (water bottle + any two small flowers), pour it into a filled Wash Basin to make medicinal wash water, then sit on the Stool and soak barefoot — this clears both Sweaty Feet and the fungus. Short of commands, it's the only cure.
Washing boots: toss sweaty boots into water and they wash clean automatically; the time required scales with the sweat level.

In multiplayer the server config takes precedence (config/sweatyfeet-server.toml on the server); the client config only affects local display (e.g. the skin tint).
