Barotrauma
Barotrauma adds an atmospheric pressure system that changes how deep and high a character can go, with a pressure suit crafted to resist it.
What it does
Altitude and depth change the character's condition. Descending into the lower layers brings blindness, poison, nausea, weakness and withering effects, while climbing into the mountains brings nausea, weakness and clouded vision. Below roughly 600 blocks in the Y direction, the pressure is lethal without protection.
The pressure suit is crafted from the armor materials and adds armor points that grow as the character descends further. Caves, lakes, river canyons and karst caves each produce their own effects. Barotrauma runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.19.2, with 1.1.4 as the latest file in the beta channel.
Key features
Depth-based effects
Each band of the Y axis applies its own mix of blindness, poison, nausea, weakness and ringing ears.
Pressure suit crafting
A suit can be crafted to protect the character against the pressure of the deepest and most dangerous areas.
Armor by depth
The suit's protection rises at lower altitudes, so deeper descents are survivable with better armor.
Terrain-specific effects
Hills, mountains, canyons, caves, lakes and oceanic diamond realms each add their own effect to the character.

What the author says
After installing this mod, your character will become immersed in a captivating atmospheric pressure system. Ascending gentle hills will trigger mild nausea and a sense of weakness. Conquering lofty mountains will briefly cloud your vision, while reaching avian altitudes will evoke a subtle feeling of dehydration.
