Life Jacket

The Life Jacket is a item added in version 1.0.6 of MFQM.

Description
The Life Jacket is an item that can be equiped in the Chest armor slot of the player. It takes on the appearance of a typical orange Life Jacket.

Crafting
accuqired To craft a Life Jacket one must have leather, Wax and string. Once all items have been, the leather has to be put in a Y shape with two Wax on the left and right middle slot and two string for the lower two.

Usage
Being a Life Jacket, it doesn't provide any actual armor. Instead it gives the player bouyancy while in the water, one can decide to sink if holding the sneak button. Having a life jacket is very useful as one does not need to constantly hold down the jump button while swimming.

For most liquid based quicksand, the Life Jacket can allow the player to float up unharmed when they normally are unable to such as Liquid Mire or Quicksand. Even the strong tentacles that could spawn in Jungle Quicksand is unable to pull the player under should they have the Life Jacket equiped.

However, aside from being basically useless in non-liquid based quicksand, the Life Jacket will not save a player if the quicksand has very powerful suction as the suction would overwelm the Life Jacket's bouyancy rendering it useless. Such quicksand with powerful suction for example are Tar and Tangleroot Moss.

Trivia

 * It is unknown why the Life Jacket's bouyancy is stronger than the Mud tentacles. Though given the fact they are considered weaker it could be the reason why.
 * Though at that point escape is highly unprobably as their grip is still as strong as their nether counterpart.
 * Oddly, despite the deadly suction power of the Tangleroot Moss, one can actually float on its surface with it. Although once the player sinks under the Life Jacket is unable to allow the player to resurface as much as it tries too.
 * It is unsure if the Life Jacket works in Sinking Slime since slime is technically a liquid. Although given how its suction gets higher as the Sinking Slime is trying to devour the player, the Life Jacket would have been useless regardless.
