# Hold Your Breath<\/p>\n
A Minecraft Fabric mod which makes players hold their breath in real life when they go underwater.<\/p>\n
## Breath Holding<\/p>\n
Players press the `R` key (configurable) to tell the server that they are holding their breath.
\nWhen a player stops holding their breath, they will release the `R` key.
\nThis requires the honor system to work.<\/p>\n
A player will need to press `R` before entering the water to avoid drowning.
\nAs long as the `R` key is held down, players will not lose air.
\nAs soon as the `R` key is released, players will start losing air at a drastically increased rate
\n(this rate is configurable).
\nThis way, players can stay underwater as long as they can hold their breath, but once they breathe they will start
\nlosing air.<\/p>\n
If the `R` key is released underwater, pressing it again will not stop air loss.
\nYou can think of this as exhaling underwater causing your mouth to fill up with water, preventing breathing.
\nThis can be changed in the config.<\/p>\n
There is an option in the config to make the `R` key into a toggle rather than something you have to hold down.
\nThis option can be set separately by each player.
\nThis does make it easier for players to cheat, but it doesn’t allow them to do anything that they couldn’t have already
\naccomplished with a program like AutoHotKey.
\nSince the mod already operates on an honor system, this isn’t that big of a deal.
\nThere are several legitimate reasons to use this feature, such as a slow connection, but please ask a server admin
\nbefore setting this option to “true” on a server.<\/p>\n
## Miscellaneous Features<\/p>\n
As an option in the config, you can prevent doors from being placed underwater to make air pockets.
\nThis is disabled by default.<\/p>\n
