Valyn Diving

Dive beneath the surface with a visible breath supply and swim controls. I wanted underwater travel to have clear feedback and a meaningful stamina cost without making shallow water a place where diving stamina resets.

What it does

Hold Left Control to descend and Space to ascend while diving.
Watch a blue breath bar next to stamina; breath refills at the surface and Swim skill extends the time underwater.
Hold Left Shift to swim faster at a higher stamina cost.
Stamina recovery stays blocked while swimming or submerged, including on the seabed, but works while wading in shallow water.
Adjust breath time, drowning damage, movement speeds and stamina behavior in the config file.

Settings

Default breath is 30 seconds; Swim skill can double it at skill 100. Shift speed is 1.25×, and ordinary swim stamina drain is 0.85×. Edit BepInEx/config/valyn.mods.diving.cfg after first launch.

Requirements

The other Valyn mods are optional.
