The Water dimension is just that, dimension of water, Characterized by a vast ocean hidden underneath a thin crust. This "crust" is covered by a dense jungle and is littered with enormous holes that lead to the world of water below.
When you spawn in the Water Dimension, you will always spawn on the crust.
This is to prevent players from spawning in the ocean and insta-drowning, and it also supplies the necessary materials to create a tier 1 diving suit.
LAYERS AND LAYERS OF FLAVOR
The Water dimension has several layers, each with their own features.
Resized to 72% (was 992 x 1024) - Click image to enlarge
The Crust
The crust is the thinnest layer in the Water Dimension, It is covered completely by a dense jungle.
This jungle is the only source of wood in the WD, and it contains many different tropical flowers that can be crafted into new dye colors.
The crust contains the materials needed to craft a tier 1 diving suit, allowing players to start diving without having to make a suit before entering the dimension.
Upper Ocean: Sunlit Zone
The Upper ocean is the layer closest to the crust, It is most populated by passive and neutral mobs such as fish and sea turtles.
This layer receives the most light from the surface and contains such structures as coral reefs, and cave systems that connect to the surface.
The materials needed to make a tier 2 suit are found here.
Middle Ocean: Twilight Zone
This layer receives less light than the upper ocean, and has more hostile and neutral mobs.
The water dimension's dungeon equivalents generate here, as well as the materials to make a tier 3 diving suit
Bio-luminescent creatures start to spawn here
Lower Ocean: Midnight Zone
The lower ocean receives no light at all, and hostile mobs are abundant. The Water dimension's stronghold equivalents, underwater ruins, generate here. Since it is quite dark here, many bio-luminescent mobs spawn here.
Underwater vents create bubbles that can refill your diving suits air meter.
Ocean bottom: The Deep
Deep oceanic trenches generate here. The materials to craft an "Eye of Drowned" are here, though we haven't figured out what yet.
Proposed items
* Red text indicates possible problems with the idea that need to be worked out.
* Orange text indicates that the idea may need to be fleshed out a bit more.
* Blue text indicates that we need concept art for the idea.
* Purple text means the idea may be dropped, usually for a better alternative, or because it did not work out as expected.
* Green text is just additional comments.
Bubbles:
Consumable air refills. These refill one air bubble on the default oxygen meter, and 15 seconds in a diving suit. Right click while holding a bubble and you will consume it like food! Preferably without the NOMNOMNOM sound effect.
They are dropped by most mobs in the WD, so stock up on them!
They are used in crafting Big bubbles and Bubble torches as well.
*"Eating" a bubble should not last as long as it would to eat food, since it only restores 15 seconds in a suit, and those seconds count!
Big bubbles:
Consumable air refills. Crafted with 4 bubbles. They refill 4 bubbles on the default meter, and 1 minute in a suit.
Some bigger mobs will drop these naturally as well.
They are used to craft Bubble blocks.
Bubble blocks:
Crafted with 4 Big Bubbles. Basically a place-able an air block.
It also acts as a bubble storage block, as it can be crafted back into 4 big bubbles
*We need to work out the physics on this. You can't place one in the middle of the ocean.
Glow goo:
Dropped by the glowing jellyfish in the WD, used to make glow torches!
*Requires that you kill adorable jellyfish
*Needs more uses! Suggest some!
Waterproof torches:
Variation 1: Bubble torches
Crafted With a torch and a bubble, creates a torch with a bubble of air around it. This is for the people who don't necessarily want to murder the cute jellyfish for their glow goop.
Variation 2: Glow Torches
Crafted with a stick and glow goop from Jellyfish mobs, basically a torch but it has goop where the fire is supposed to be.
*Currently, when you place a torch in water (other than it being removed almost instantly) it creates a pocket of air. This is likely because the space around the torch is air by default.
We obviously cannot have this with our underwater torches, as it would be exploited by players to obtain oxygen, and it would be really ugly too.
A possible quick fix for this, would be to have the area around the UW torches to be water by default. This of course, would mean that UW torches could not be placed in air, and they would be auto-removed like normal torches in water if you try to do so.
This thread is for the discussion and advancement of the as-yet unnamed water dimension from All Dem Dimensions, a thread by a jellyfish.
Aims are:
-Finally pinning down a name
-Getting a full and final rundown of just how the dimension's composition will work
-Coming up with new blocks
-Coming up with new mobs
-Coming up with new items
-Detailing the dimension boss, how it is found, how it is fought, and what you get from it.
All suggestions welcome. stupid suggestions, while still welcome, will be dismissed. You've been warned.
Function- Add 1 bubble to air meter while underwater, or 15 seconds while wearing a diving suit

I originally came up with glow goo and the bubble system, to refill the scuba. Scuba suits(Jellomob's idea) and aquamarine(which I also thought of) should really be added to the items list, I think Jellomob just forgot.
Scuba suits have 4 teirs:(I came up with these, Jellomob just made the basic rule: we need scubas)
1. undecided, can be made on the crust - full suit air storage=5 minutes
2. iron/titanium - full suit air storage=10 minutes(realistic)
3. aquamarine - full suit air storage=20 minutes
4. undecided, I was thinking maybe sapphire? - full suit air storage=45 minutes
Aquamarine is a material that is between iron and diamond underwater, but stone on land. It can also be crafted into 8 teal dye.
Scubas act as armor and an air supply, higher teirs have higher protection. The air is used on land or in water, unless you take the helmet off. The air guage appears when the suit is worn, with only a helmet, you have the normal bar and it starts to decrease, with air storage, the guage has iron bubbles, they decrease very slowly.
Scuba tank capaty, in suit parts:
Helmet - no air storage, required to use air storage, visibility boost in water
Chestpiece/vest - 40% storage, required again
Pants - 35% storage, speed boost in water
Boots - 25% storage, speed boost in water
Treanch coral(suggestion):
A purple cactus that grows horizontally on the sides of treanchs, it can be smealted into purple dye.

SCUBA will indeed be added to this OP, but like it says on the bottom, only FULLY formed ideas will be added. Every piece of gear will need a crafting recipe, and at least one fully fleshed out mechanic for use, and preferably some sort of picture.
As for aquamarine, I'll wait on Jellomob's word before I add it officially
Umm, I said I appoint users to manage the threads when we were ready to make them,
and we are no where near ready at the moment.
The point is, we need to keep this organized as much as possible, and in order to do that we need a steady line of communication between the threads.
Unfortunately, we can't have people go off and make threads on their own, it messes up the system, and everything becomes a disorganized mess.
If a Subthread is going to be made, I will announce it on the main post, I will choose someone to be in charge of that thread, and then the subthread will be made. Otherwise, please do not post subthreads without my permission.
