Water Pressure mechanic

Here I have some suggestions about the water mechanics, in particular the water pressure

Water pressure

After going 20 blocks deep underwater, we will start losing bubbles faster. This doesn't affect us if we drank a Water Breathing potion. The Respiration enchantment can help prevent this

Pressure damage

After going 25 blocks deep underwater, we will start losing 1 heart every 4 seconds, and the damage will increase every 4 blocks by 1 heart

Pressure resistance enchantment

Max level 3. Enchantemnt for Leggings and Chestplate. This enchantment, increases by 5 blocks per level the depth we can swim safely before start taking damage, up to a maximum of an extra 30 blocks before dying due Pressure

This changes and additions will make going underwater, specially into underwater caves, more challenging

    I could see this in a more realistic survival mod, certainly would be a great mechanic for it, however, given the other physics of Minecraft I doubt Mojang will add it. Hopefully one of talented mod makers will see this though.
