'''Water Breathing''' is a [[Minecraft:status effect]] that prevents or delays [[Minecraft:Damage#Drowning|drowning]], and allows [[Minecraft:waterlogging|waterlogged]] [[Minecraft:bed]]s{{only|bedrock}} to be used. {{IN|be}}, it additionally prevents or delays [[Minecraft:squid]], [[Minecraft:glow squid]], [[Minecraft:salmon]], [[Minecraft:cod]], [[Minecraft:pufferfish]], [[Minecraft:tropical fish]], [[Minecraft:nautilus]], and [[Minecraft:tadpole]]s from taking suffocation damage when they are not in water, and also prevents players/mobs from taking suffocation damage inside full, solid, non-transparent blocks.

{{EffectLink|Conduit Power}} also gives the player a similar effect to Water Breathing (among other things).

== Immune mobs ==
*[[Minecraft:Wither]]s and [[Minecraft:ender dragon]]s are immune to Water Breathing.
*Aquatic mobs (except for the [[Minecraft:dolphin]]) are unaffected by water breathing {{only|java|short=1}} and all [[Minecraft:undead]] mobs (except [[Minecraft:husk]]s and [[Minecraft:zombie]]s thus they convert into [[Minecraft:zombie]]s and [[Minecraft:drowned]]) are unaffected by water breathing.

== Notes ==
[[Minecraft:Helmet]]s with the [[Minecraft:Respiration]] enchantment slow down oxygen depletion, granting an extra 15 seconds of underwater breath per level. However, this is not done through the Water Breathing effect.
