UnderWater Pressure

by NeimRessu

UnderWater Pressure adds a water pressure mechanic that grows stronger the deeper a player swims, and it runs on the server alone.

ForgeServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

Pressure rises with depth, so a player who stays far below the surface for too long can die instantly. A config option controls whether the time until death is counted and shown, which makes it possible to tune or debug the mechanic. Armor, including full sets such as the turtle helmet, can be set to protect against pressure, and individual items can be configured as well.

Key features

  1. Depth-based pressure

    Pressure increases the deeper a player goes underwater, following a semi-realistic curve.

  2. Instant death under load

    Staying under high pressure too long kills the player outright, with the time limit adjustable in the config.

  3. Armor protection

    Specific armor pieces and full sets can be set to shield the wearer from pressure damage.
