Better Diving Mod 1.16.5, 1.12.2 – Work Like Fish in Water

Movement:

• No automatic sinking.
• You swim in the looking direction instead of just straight forward. So if you look upwards you will swim upwards.
• Swimming at the surface doubles swimspeed penalities and bonuses.
• Minimum and maximum swimspeed limits.

Oxygen:

• You can dive for 45 seconds with taking one deep breath of air.
• Every level of the Respiration enchantment allows you to stay 15 seconds longer under water (up to +45 seconds).
• Every 30 blocks below surface oxygen efficiency is decreased and so you consume more oxygen (the next air block over the player is counted as the surface).

Breaking Blocks:

• Breaking blocks under water works at 60% of normal efficiency.
• With the Aqua Affinity enchantment you break blocks underwater at 80% efficiency.

New Items:

There are currently 3 versions of each item. A basic version. An improved version for increased perks. And a reinforced version with more armor points.

Diving Masks:

Needed for diving with Oxygen Tanks. With the improved version, you can dive at normal efficiency at depths greater than 30 blocks.

Oxygen Tanks:

Hold oxygen for longer dive sessions. Wearing slightly decreases the players swim speed.

Wetsuit Leggings:

Wearing wetsuit leggings improve the players break speed under water.

Fins:

Increase the swim speed of the player.
