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.
