Breathing Reed

[Josiah Gibbonson]

It'd be neat if you could craft a breathing reed from some bamboo and maybe either a knife or chisel. Holding it in your hand or offhand would let you breathe underwater about 3 blocks down (so long as the end of it was sticking out of the water)

 

I don't know how useful it'd be, but it'd be a cute addition

Depending on reed dimensions, it's a good way to suffocate too. However, I daresay videogame logic would apply in this case and one need not worry about that.

Given that the player can already hold their breath for a decent length by default though, I don't think it'd be a particularly useful addition to the base game. Better as a mod, in my opinion.
