How To Dive? (click to expand)

  • While swimming in the water press crouch/sneak key ( left control ) together with forward direction key ( W ) then use mouse to navigate to the direction you want to go.
  • ( W + Left Control ) + Mouse.
  • While holding W + Left Control you can dive down or up using mouse to navigate.
  • If you release Left Control you can swim normally using direction keys ( W A S D ) but you can't dive down or up.
  • Diving also uses your stamina so better prepare foods with lots of stamina or stamina potion.
  • If you run out of stamina while underwater you'll take damage normally until your hp goes down and you'll die.
  • If you run out of stamina or you just want to go back up quickly you can press jump key ( Space ).
  • While idle in the water your stamina will naturally regen.

  • If you want to use your equipment underwater or while in the water, use my WieldEquipmentWhileSwimming mod.. It supports all kinds of equipments vanilla or modded.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
