Submerged: The Ocean Artifact
by sidyasinX
Submerged: The Ocean Artifact adds a magic music disc that players craft after defeating Elder Guardians in Ocean Monuments, and it grants underwater breathing when activated.
What it does
Players collect three Broken Disc Pieces by defeating three Elder Guardians found in Ocean Monuments, then combine them at a crafting table to make a standard Submerged Music Disc. Placing that disc alongside a Heart of the Sea in a forge produces the Submerged Awakened disc, which activates the artifact's magic.
Using the artifact grants Water Breathing and Dolphin's Grace for one minute, or 1200 ticks, so the player can swim and breathe underwater with ease. The effect carries a one-minute cooldown to prevent repeated use. Custom music plays while the magic is active, and overlapping tracks are cut off so only one plays at a time.
The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.8 and is distributed in client and server mode, so the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. The mod was created by sidyasinX with MCreator.

Schnit'z Artifacts is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, also distributed as Client and server under All rights reserved. Why Not Mod is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5, released under the MIT License and also Client and server.
