(Sitting Toggle) Add a Sit-down action to help Heal Quicker

Need a reason for adding a Sitting animation toggle? How about this:

  • When low health, causes hearts to fill-up faster from Hunger Bar.

  • Can take 2 extra Hunger Bars past the normal first 3 for healing.

  • Harmful effects(aka Poison, Food Poisoning, Withering, Fire, etc) deal damage at a slower speed.

  • Can be used to duck behind/under 1 block-high cover in combat.

  • Look nice for screenshots.

  • Have Scooting races with friends for dumb fun.

All in all, it takes after the factoid that your body is resting in that position, and thus helps promote healing.
Do Doctors not tell patients to not move much afterwords when healing from injuries?

And since it's based in the idea of resting and taking it easy, the toggle key should be "Z".

    Hold on, the Z key views the current mob effects in place. I was thinking you look down, sneak, and then right click (W10), or tap a hotbar button that says "sit down" (mobile), or look down, sneak, and then "use" (console version). I totally do approve of slightly better healing, though! :D

    @Jfacemcsmashems Good point there about the "Z" Key, but honestly, that sounds incredibly obnoxious. It should remain a simple toggle key on PC, just a separate one... or perhaps a Shift+Z would work.
    What would work on Mobile & Console versions is something I don't know.

    @Mc_Rat It's not that the sitting action would heal you, but that it would simply quicken any healing that would naturally happen & slow down the tick of any status damages inflicted.

    I'm sad that this only has 7 votes. This is my most wanted feature and has been for years. The sitting "animation" is already in the game for boats, horses, etc. so it seems like it'd be really easy to implement. And as Mc Rat said, it doesn't even need to heal.

    I agree that there should be a button to sit. Here's a bonus: When sitting near a tamed wolf it will become happy and circle you excitedly like a real dog would.

    Generally resting to heal is over a longer time period, and I don't think this is generally useful to the game

    I would prefer if it was purely aesthetic with no gameplay effect.

    I just really want the ability to sit and enjoy my creations. There's no current way to just sit in a living room I made and decorated. Or around a campfire with my buddy.

    It could have unintended gameplay effects in PVP as to avoid arrow shots but if it had a cooldown to sit then get back up then it'd make it not worth the risk.

    Presidentgamer2 I wouldn't do that because it would essentially disable the (for lack of a better word) "twerking" that a lot of Minecraft players have adapted as a sort of informal greeting. To sit down when you're trying to spam Shift would be like trying to bow or cursty and falling flat on your rump.
