This article is about the enchantment that provides the ability to breathe underwater. For the status effect, see Water Breathing.
Respiration is a helmet enchantment for extending breathing time underwater. It can be applied to other armor pieces using commands.
Usage
Respiration extends underwater breathing time by +15 seconds per enchantment level in addition to the default time of 15 seconds. It also grants a chance of not taking drowning damage each second by level / (level + 1)
. The maximum level that can be obtained without commands is level 3, resulting in a total time of 60 seconds underwater (including the base time without enchantments) before drowning begins. Wearing a turtle shell extends this time by an additional 10 seconds.
