Enchant Respiration 3

Add Respiration III to a helmet to breathe longer underwater

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Applies Respiration III (the vanilla maximum) to the helmet you are holding, extending underwater breathing time and improving vision underwater. Each level gives a chance not to consume air, so level III greatly lengthens dives. Pairs well with Aqua Affinity for underwater work.

/enchant @s respiration 3

  1. Open chat (T on Java, / on Bedrock).
  2. Hold the helmet (or turtle shell) you want to enchant.

  4. Equip it and dive — your air bar drains far more slowly.
