How can I breathe under water in Minecraft?

Are you ready to take your Minecraft underwater? With a Respiration enchanted helmet, you can stay submerged for longer – no gills necessary! Here’s a 3-step guide to help you explore the deep:

  1. Get Respiration Helmet Enchantment: Find or craft a helmet with this enchantment. It’s hidden in treasure chests in ocean monuments and shipwrecks.
  2. Use Items and Potions: Potions or special items will help you breathe longer. An Aqua Affinity enchantment also lets you mine faster underwater.
  3. Explore Shipwrecks and Monuments: They contain useful items like helmets with Respiration enchantments. Plus, they offer exciting rewards and challenges.

For extra help, build an air pocket with doors or signs. And just remember, one dedicated player built an underwater base and explored shipwrecks, mining rare materials and unlocking forgotten treasures. So why not give it a go?

How can you get the respiration enchantment?

To breathe underwater in Minecraft, you’ll need the Respiration Enchantment. Here’s how:

  1. Craft or find an Enchantment Table.
  2. Put the item you want to enchant in the left slot. Eg. Helmet.
  3. Choose ‘Respiration’ from the enchantments menu using your experience levels.
  4. If Respiration isn’t available, try enchanting other items or combine existing enchanted items with an Anvil.

It comes in three levels: I, II, & III. Each level increases your ability to breathe underwater and reduces drowning damage.

You can also find or trade for Respiration enchantment books of various levels. Apply these books to armor with an Anvil.

Pro Tip: Weighted enchantments increase the chance of Respiration showing up. Remove unrelated enchants from armor first for better luck.

And for even more stamina underwater? Eat your way through a school of fish – just watch out for a fight!
