Remove drowning, add floating

WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION: The removal of drowning, and possible floating

HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SERVER/COMMUNITY?: Since this is a roleplay server, and people don't actually "drown" icly unless they want their character to, it isn't necessary to keep minecraft's bubble-drowning system. It's also somewhat annoying since it teleports you all the way back to spawn and you can't even talk underwater, making it seem like more of a bug than a feature. The same thing can be said about running into fire even though it's pretty funny when it happens

A feature that allows players to float on water would also be neat, if there was a water to script players to automatically jump in water after a set amount of time when a command is typed in, this will make it so we can interact with eachother at the pool AND beach, allow us to action and combat in water, and finally also allow us to speak without having to stop mid-sentence just to swim all the way back up.

+1, Cool idea i get how its annoying when trying to type in water. If its possible im all down for that.

One way they could implement the "floating" mechanic is by sending packets to the individual client saying there's a half slab below them, similarly to how /crawl works with shulkers. I definitely think it's worth implementing, especially considering how simple it is.

Here's an example of what it would look like, in case my explanation was unclear.

Note: The slab would only appear client-side, meaning any other player wouldn't see it. If the slab being visible is really a problem, they can just make it invisible using the resource pack.

+1 for the floating, -1 for the removal of drowning

+1 To add a float command, rather than remove drowning completely.
People still should still be able to go underwater and swim without the complete removal of drowning. Also talking while ur at the bottom of the ocean isnt really realistic, so if a float command was implemented then it would be nice to talk at the surface of the water without typing as fast as you can before you find yourself drowning at the bottom.

+1 for adding floating, keep drowning

Adding a /float command would definitely benefit roleplay. Removing drowning is unnecessary though because like real life, you'd need to come up for some air. They did remove lung capacity attribute and it would be nice if the bubbles would slow down like they used to with high capacity tbh.

I mean that it would be toggable, meaning dolphins can just not use the float command

+1 I think that this would also help the aspect of roleplaying as its hard to RP when you're sinking and then drowning as you're typing the action.

+1 It makes sense. Trying to rp but you’re just dying looks funny especially during summertime when there’s events at the beach. It’ll be a really cool new thing to have
