Prepare to explore the oceanic depths of Minecraft with the scuba mod!
The scuba mod is a mod that adds items themed around scuba diving. The mod adds:
- 4 special armor sets
- 1 Block
- 1 Item
- 1 Enchantment
- 1 Effect
Diving Gears:
The diving gear sets are a special type of armory that grant the 'scuba' effect along with other various benefits depending on the gear. While the player is wearing an airtank with a mask while underwater, the scuba effect. While it is in effect the player will not lose oxygen, only depleting the air tank's internal oxygen. If the player removes the gear or climbs out of water, the remaining oxygen will be remembered and the effect will end until either the gear is put back on or the player enters the water again.
Upon running out of internal oxygen, the air tank will be futile until refilled again with the air compressor. So dive carefully!
Tidal Diving Gear. The very first set for the ones who want to dip their toes in what this mod has to offer. It provides oxygen, small amount of armor points, and a small swim boost. This tier may get outdated very quickly, however they are the stepping stones to obtaining very powerful tiers. It cannot be crafted and can only be obtained by trading with the most experienced armorers and fishermen villagers.
Coastal Diving Gear. A step up in power on all fronts from tidal, I took inspiration from the classic looking scuba diving suits. It provides a decent amount of oxygen, armor points, and a decent swim boost. It can be obtained by combining any tidal gear with an iron ingot at a smithing table.
Pelagal Diving Gear. The second best of the diving gears, I took inspiration from futuristic looking wetsuits for this set and also blue diamonds. It provides a large amount of oxygen, armor points and a very good swim boost. It can be obtained by combining any coastal gear with a diamond at a smithing table.
Hadal Diving Gear. The final and best diving tier. I took inspiration from deep sea diving helmets used by some pretty extreme scuba divers. It provides the largest amount of oxygen out of any of the diving gear. It provides a large amount of armor points and is immune to fire, (like the material it is made of, netherite.) and provides the best swim boost. It can be obtained by combining any pelagal gear with a netherite ingot at a smithing table.
The Air Compressor. This sturdy block can be used to refill your airtank once it fully empties. It can be crafted in a crafting table with 5 iron bars in a 'shuriken' like formation. With the airtank in your hand just simply right click the block and your airtank will be ready for your next aquatic adventure.
Azuritian's music disc 'Pelagic Swim'. This energetic soundscape was created by a friend of mine, made specially for this mod. This disc can be obtained by making a drowned kill another of its kind. (Tip, they sometimes like to throw something pointy at your direction...)
Trident enchantment 'Recoralation'. This special enchantment can only be applied to tridents and cannot be found on the enchantment table. It grants the trident the ability to 'revive' dead coral blocks and plants. Simply right click on a dead coral block or plant and it will be brought back to life. (Just make sure its submerged and not out of water) It can be obtained by villager trading and in loot chests.

Stay Tranquil.

So here it is, the grand release of the scuba mod 1.0. After I while I wanted to scrap this entirely, even the last overhaul was really bad. So I decided to finish this strong and decided not to deliver an ocean overhaul with it, just make the best scuba mod I originally intended to create. So almost a year later, here it is...
