Swiming Stamina
by Mathai_asz
Swiming Stamina adds a stamina bar that drains faster while a player swims, and applies penalty effects when it runs empty.
What it does
The stamina bar falls quicker in water than on land, so long swims wear a player down. Once stamina is spent, the player picks up effects such as Weakness, Mining Fatigue, Nausea and Hunger, and can sink. The author notes that the bar also measures breath more closely than vanilla air does.
A custom stamina effect removes the drain for a set time. Players brew it at a brewing stand by combining a water breathing potion with an iron ingot, and the resulting potion lasts three minutes. Because the author built it for a pirate survival server, the mod is meant for players who cross wide bodies of water and need a way to dive or travel without stopping.
The mod is a Forge build for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
