Drown For Real 🌊
[Player Animation Mod]
Animate Your Panic! Ever noticed how your Minecraft character stays completely calm while actively running out of air underwater? Drown For Real fixes this immersion-breaker by replacing the static, rigid vanilla behavior with a dynamic, realistic drowning panic animation!
When your oxygen level hits zero and you start taking suffocation damage, your character will enter a realistic, high-stress struggle—flailing their limbs and reclining backward as they fight to reach the surface.
✨ Features
Realistic Panic Animation: Features a custom, hand-crafted immersion loop for the body, head, arms, and legs that dynamically kicks in during drowning states.
Client-Side Visual Polish: Fully optimized for smooth multiplayer and singleplayer performance without impacting server tick rates.
