Miner's Lung
A Forge mod that introduces realistic breathing mechanics in underground areas and other dimensions.
Mod Features
In the Minecraft world, air becomes dangerous under certain conditions. Below Y=0 level and above Y=128, you gradually start suffocating. This problem also exists in the Nether, and in the End there's no air at all - you won't be able to breathe from the first seconds.
Protection Methods
Several options are available for survival in dangerous conditions:
- Potions of Free Breathing (previously known as Water Breathing Potions) provide temporary protection
- Respirators and Air Bladders create a personal life support system
- Bottle of Soulfire instantly restores your lungs
Creating Safe Zones
You can create pockets of safety using special light sources:
- Soul fire
- Soul torches
- Soul campfires
These sources create an area with breathable air around them.
Useful Tools
Signal torches - simply right-click a torch and it will emit particles, helping to mark the exit from a cave or path to safety.
Safety lanterns - change color in inventory and in the world, showing the air quality around you. They can also be dyed for decorative purposes.
Dangerous Enemies
Drowned pose a special threat - their attacks literally suck the air out of your lungs.
Configuration
All mod features can be customized to your preferences: change air quality at different heights in any dimensions or completely disable any mechanics.
