So you ask, what does respiration do in Minecraft? Well this is a question that people have been asking since the game came out. I have seen countless theories on what does respiration do in the game but I will be the first to tell you that the theory that I am about to tell you is rubbish. This is because the armor that players are wearing will block the effects of respiration in the same way that it blocks the effects of light. There are some exceptions to this rule like the heavy breathing suit that will make you able to breathe underwater.
The most popular theory as to what does respiration: do in Minecraft is the ability to obtain respiration after you have researched the cave where the dragon is being held prisoner. There is a cave in the game called the deep dark pit that holds the dragon captive. Once you have obtained this cave you will need to use your goggles to research the dragon and speak with him. Once you have spoken with him then you will need to throw a diamond into the hole in his stomach where his stomach contains a pulse spot. Right before the pulse spot a piece of metal will appear and will start to glow, once it touches the surface of the diamond.
To get the ability to obtain respiration: you need to go to the enchanting screen and put the diamond into the hole. Go back to where you put the enchanted stone and right click on it to place it in the hole. Now when you use the enchanting skill on the enchanted stone, it will produce a beam of light that will start to cover the entire screen. This light will cause a slight delay before it completely covers the screen.
The second theory as to what does respiration: do in Minecraft is that the wearer will be able to breathe under water. You can achieve this by using the breathing time underwater enchantment. To get the helmet enchantment you will need to go to the enchanting table and talk to the wizard. He will give you the enchanted helmet that can be used in the game. When you have the helmet in your inventory press the square on it and put the enchanted stone into the bottom of the helmet.
The third theory as to what does respiration: do in Minecraft is that the player will be able to wear two helmets at the same time. To get the enchantment you need to go to the enchanting table and talk to the wizard. You will need to choose the helmet that you want to enchant. Once this is done press the square on the helmet to place it in your inventory.
The fourth theory as to what does respiration: do in Minecraft is that the players will not become exhausted if they are wearing two helmets at the same time. To get this enchantment you need to go to the mining forge and talk to the miner. This will cause the mining sparks to fly out and will cause the player to take a breath in the air after it passes through their nostrils. Press the square on the helmet once again to put it back in your inventory.
