What the author says
Water Breathe is a simple quality-of-life mod that allows the player to interact with any entity to grant it permanent water breathing! This makes building habitats and enclosures for pesky critters that keep drowning much more feasible! The mod was made specifically for the Menagerie modpack by jamono, but feel free…
