OK, so I thought of this a few days ago, and NOBODY has made it! I'm looking into how to mod just so I could make it! XD
So what it is, is a meter on the side or bottom of your screen, can have size adjusted, that tells you how much oxygen you have! Oxygen would be a block type that would fill any open space, kind of like water does, but going up down, which way or not! Breathing oxygen would be necessary for the players survival, when his bar gets to 0 oxygen, he would start losing life as you would underwater, until you get air again! The problem would be, armor would protect you from air suffocation for a long time, and that's kinda stupid! On the Y Levels 55-70, air would be infinite! The area would always be full of oxygen, but as you ascend or descend, you meter will lower depending on if your near any clean oxygen. Say your at level 5, by bedrock, you would start suffocating, due to the lack of oxygen. BUT there would be a new item that would allow for air to travel a great distance, normally, air will travel about 30 squares, getting weaker as it goes, so if you say got trapped in a tiny hole that was blocked off, your oxygen level would slowly deplete until you started dying of suffocation. The item would be a vent, it'd allow you to send oxygen an increased 20-60 blocks farther then normal! The recipe might be made like so:
???
[]
The Gunpowder = Redstone dust, and the ??? marks can be either a wooden fan, a iron fan, a gold fan, or a diamond fan. When placed, the vent will face the player, and when right clicked on, it will change direction towards the player, such as the pistons from the pistons mod! When redstone current is applied to the vent, it will turn on, pushing the oxygen in a direction straight in front of it, once the oxygen leaves the path of the vent though, it will not gain the additional plus from the vents current, making it the best idea to have straight air shafts, going up, down, sideways, and whatnot! Another cool thing that I think would be added for fun to the mod, is that the vents turned on will push the player in the direction they are facing, though only for 4-8 squares, depending on the fan type! The fans would be made like this:
Wooden fan:
[] []
[] []
Iron fan:
[] []
[] []
Gold fan:
[] []
[] []
Diamond fan:
[] []
[] []
The wooden fan would pump air 20 squares farther then it should go and would last a half an hour of nonstop air pumping before the fan would break, then you'd be left with the item, Air Vent (No fan). By putting a fan under it, it would change the vent to that fan. So these are the scales of air pump/fan lifetime.
Wooden Vent:
Air pump: +20
Lifetime: 30 minutes
Iron Vent:
Air pump: +40
Lifetime: 2 hours
Gold Vent:
Air pump: +50
Lifetime: 45 minutes
Diamond Vent:
Air pump: +60
Lifetime: 5 hours
There will probably be more I will add as my mind is going 100% OCD over this, lol, please respond with thoughts! If you find that this would be possible and also think it is a good idea, it would be great if you told a good modder!
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
Another thing I just thought of and decided to add in here as an edit, while your underwater, instead of having bubbles, maybe the oxygen meter would start going down, making it so if you fell into water deep underground, you would drown faster due to starting off with less oxygen!
Last thing hopefully, I hope whoever makes this, maybe me someday, will make it using the ModOptionsAPI, that way people may change the size of their Oxygen Meter, be able to turn it on and off, make it so air lasts longer, and a few more stuff things!

Time is Diamonds, and I got none to spare! Unless you have redstone of course!
This will definitely be reserved for EXTREME realism mode, and that will be a mod, not a mode. People who want hunger will not want to suffocate while exploring a cave.
You seem to have put thought into this, so awesome. I hope you get a working mod of this.

I have put tons of thought into this, and so much is going through my mind right now, like maybe when your low on oxygen your character gets lightheaded and vision is blurred a tiny bit. And whilst falling you can't take in as much oxygen, as well as possibly, when your low on oxygen, you dig 5% slower and deal a tiny bit less damage per swing on opponents, and being low on health/getting hit by an enemy takes away a bit of oxygen! =D And possibly designs for an oxygen tank/mask as well! lol, this is gonna be amazing if it ever is released!

I like this suggestion. It is a known fact that "smoke" is on Notch's possibly-maybe-to-do list. It is certainly a creative approach you have, instead of focusing on the smoke blocks, focus on breathable air blocks. I have no idea how Mojang will finally approach the problem of smoke and breathing, etc. Hopefully they don't just give up on the idea.

I think you are going to love my Survival Let's Play series on YouTube! It's called Spaceboot1's Garden. I make pretty things.

That's awesome! If this ever became real, maybe the smoke would make it hard to breath! =D

this is a great suggestion, i too have thought of this sort of thing, but as we all know minecraft is a game of simplicity and i don't think this would be added to the game, but i can defiantly see it being in a realism mod, maybe notch will add a game mode to minecraft so when you start a game you will have an option to choose from "Default" MC or "Realism" MC witch would contain this mod and many others such as hunger/ thirst ect...
At first, I was gonna Troll the hell out of you. Now, having read the post, I like it.
Though, having to constantly replace a fan will get annoying. Maybe, instead, it gets dirtier and doesn't send air down as far. Other than that, you have my support!
Thanks for not trolling! =P And also for complimenting it! I hope to someday become an experienced enough modder to make this! =D

I think he is suggesting that we have no air underground, and that instead there would be fans to circulate air. I think its a good idea, but I'm not an ultra-realistic minecraft person.
But who am I to complain? Make a mod. I might even try it.
it would be logical in modern day mines they have to pump oxygen down to the depths so there miners can breath air instead of dirt coal or whatever the hell there mining
though if it is implemented you should be able to turn it off cause that can get annoying sxploring caves when you have to stop and place a new pump so you dont pass out and die

Ah...Mod only. Not even realistic mode needs that much realism...Unless we get toggle settings for various realism elements at world generation. Which I want.

Yeah, if it was made, I'd hope for it to be made using the WorldModOptions and ModOptions, that way you could turn it on and off, increase/decrease the size of the air meter, and possibly make it so breathing up high is possible or just down low.

Want to play Minecraft SSP like Spaceboot1? Try my modpack, all mods made by me, Spaceboot1!
But yes you can! lol, as long as it's not too high, or as long as you have some air pumps from the surface to it! lol =P
That's awesome! If this ever became real, maybe the smoke would make it hard to breath! =D
i hope to see it too someday.
Thanks for not trolling! =P And also for complimenting it! I hope to someday become an experienced enough modder to make this! =D
Thread complete.
What???
Other than that, quality thread. I think trees should produce oxygen, as well as maybe other plants.

You deserve it.
Ah...Mod only. Not even realistic mode needs that much realism...Unless we get toggle settings for various realism elements at world generation. Which I want.
It means that up, down, or whatever way you want, that work better? lol
