Title: Scuba Pumpkins
Post by: Nefroz on February 14, 2012, 10:59:20 am
I've seen this on the Worldguard plugin used with bukkit before, what it is that in addition to keeping endermen at bay, pumpkins also let you breathe underwater when worn allowing for easier underwater builds. I've had fun with this in the past and I think it would be nice, but that's just me. It could be also useful if your afking near water and someone wants to push you in:P

Doesn't seem like there's much harm in this, but I'm not sure if this will be implemented as this is a survival server, and this idea may make water type things much easier to do (such as collecting clay) So that would kind of destroy the whole purpose of collecting clay legit.

yeah but its not really that big of a deal with the /home feature, all you do is /home /back and your on top of the water :P

Theres also a plugin called scuba kit that lets you choose how long you can breathe underwater when using certain objects on your head. Its not a bad plugin, you still have to worry about air, you just have more of it :)

I support this because I died I don't know how many times trying to build my shaft for my project underwater.  My only issue is that ppl will try more often to grief projects underwater but I guess that's no different than above the surface or via tunnels....

I think this would be a great idea. It would decrease the talent needed to build underwater, but it would help a lot.

This give people a edge by giving them more time underwater, so i do not support this.

You can't have an "edge" if everyone has the same capabilities.

I think its a good idea. We arent strictly a VANILLA server, only survival. I think this will help make our server stand out too, havnt seen many others use this :)

Its not really a big edge either. The only thing you gotta do is find a pumpkin, or buy some pumpkin seeds.
And the amount of time underwater can be limited too so thats not a problem, its not like its infinite, it just allows you to go deeper underwater without having to go straight up again.

Just come up for breaths, not that hard. Or just don't build under water.

Dude, I was just having my say in this, if you don't want peoples inputs then don't post suggestions where everyone can reply.
It was a good suggestion and of course people will agree with you for wanting this because it'll give them an advantage under water, but somehow I don't see this happening, sorry. Unless Nick, Relkeb, or Optical disagree otherwise.

I agree with DK. I don't see this going through with Nick, Relkeb, and Opti. I do like the idea though.

Please do not put words in my mouth, you are not the only one to disagree, it just seemed like a weak post to me, I would like a better reason than "Oh you can extend your breath underwater with a random helmet enchant" I already knew this bit of information. Also do not take it personal, it wasn't an attack on you.

On the other hand I asked opti about it in Mumble a few days back and he did mention he would think about it, I just figured having a thread to talk about it would be good as well. On the other hand I'm not sure about Nick and Relkeb.

Psyk Many people think enchanting armor is a waste of experience, I'm in that group, and I'm plenty allowed to exaggerate a little in my own thread.

I would appreciate all of you staying on topic instead of poor attempts too pwn me about being "constructive" when I'm not the one having to provide constructive criticism here.

Or what you could do is make the hats(that you can get from donating) allow you to breath under water.

No, that gives players an advantage just for money. It stops being a gimmick, and starts being something exploitable :/
