Amphibian Boot

The Amphibian Boot is a Relic that's worn in the Feet slot, and it'll make you swim faster the longer that you keep swimming. It also speeds you up while you're sprinting in the rain, and it gives you a chance to not use up any air while you're underwater.

You'll find the Amphibian Boot inside Chests on 1.20.1, but only the ones that belong to water structures, like Shipwrecks and Ocean Ruins. Buried Treasure counts as well, and each of these Chests has a 2.5% chance to hold one.

The biome doesn't matter on 1.20.1, as it's the kind of structure that counts. That means modded shipwrecks, ocean ruins and other watery structures are able to have it as well, so they're worth checking alongside the vanilla ones.

You'll find the Amphibian Boot in any Chest on 1.21.1, as long as it's in an ocean, beach, shore, coast or river biome. It doesn't matter which dimension you're in, and biomes from other mods will count if they've got one of those words in their name.

Around a third of Chests will have a Relic inside on 1.21.1, which gets picked from all of the Relics that match the biome. There are three other water Relics sharing that pick with it, and three more will join them in the cold and frozen biomes.

These are the chances with only the Relics mod installed. Any add-on that has Relics of its own will be part of the same pick, which is going to lower them a little.

Fins will start working as soon as you're swimming with the Amphibian Boot equipped, which means sprinting through the water and not just floating in it. Your swimming speed keeps building up while you do, and it'll drop back down again once you stop.

Slipping doesn't work the way that it's described on 1.20.1, as the speed bonus on land is taken from how long you've been swimming. You'll get it for a moment after leaving the water, but sprinting in the rain won't build it up at all.

On 1.21.1, swimming and sprinting in the rain both fill up the same charge, which is what your speed is taken from. The speed that you've built up in the water will carry over onto land for a moment, and you'll be able to step up full blocks while it lasts.

Gills gives every bit of air that you'd lose underwater a chance to be kept, which makes a single breath last for longer. It won't let you stay under forever, as the chance starts out low and has to be upgraded.

There are three abilities on the Amphibian Boot, and they're all available from Relic level 0. You'll earn 10 Upgrade Points in total, which isn't enough to max more than one of them, as they each go up to level 10.

Fins

Accelerates the swimming speed depending on its duration. Speed multiplier: 2 to 4% for every second. Maximum duration: 3 to 7 seconds.

• Unlocks at Relic Level 0
• 1 Point per Upgrade

Stat	Starting Roll	At Ability Level 10
Speed per Second	2 to 4%	7 to 14%
Maximum Duration	3 to 7 seconds	9 to 21 seconds

The bonus stops growing once the maximum duration has been reached, which is why both of these stats matter. A new Boot with a perfect roll tops out at 35% extra swimming speed, and every point raises the speed and the duration together.

Slipping

Increases movement speed in the rain depending on its duration. Speed multiplier per second: 2 to 4%. Maximum duration: 3 to 5 seconds.

• Unlocks at Relic Level 0
• 1 Point per Upgrade

Stat	Starting Roll	At Ability Level 10
Speed per Second	2 to 4%	5 to 10%
Maximum Duration	3 to 5 seconds	7.5 to 12.5 seconds

It only counts while you're sprinting on land with rain falling on you, and it won't build up if you're sneaking or standing in water. A thunderstorm works just as well as normal rain, but snow doesn't count for it.

Gills

Grants player the ability to not consume air while underwater. Chance of activation: 1 to 10%.

• Unlocks at Relic Level 0
• 1 Point per Upgrade

Stat	Starting Roll	At Ability Level 10
Chance	1 to 10%	4.5 to 45%

Each point adds 35% of the chance that was rolled, which takes a perfect roll from 10% up to 45% at level 10. It's the weakest of the three to begin with, as a poor roll will start out at just 1%.

Increases movement speed in the rain by 2 to 4% per second of movement. The modifier stops increasing if the duration of movement in the rain exceeds 3 to 5 seconds.

• Unlocks at Relic Level 0

Gills

With a 1 to 10% chance, the player may not consume an air unit while swimming or in other conditions.

• Unlocks at Relic Level 0
• 1 Point per Upgrade

Stat	Starting Roll	At Ability Level 10
Chance	1 to 10%	4.5 to 45%

Each point adds 35% of the chance that was rolled, which takes a perfect roll from 10% up to 45% at level 10. It's the weakest of the three to begin with, as a poor roll will start out at just 1%.

The Amphibian Boot gains 1 Relic experience for every second that you spend swimming, and 1 for every second of sprinting in the rain. Gills doesn't give any at all, which makes a long swim the easiest way to level it.

The first Relic level costs 100 Relic experience, and each one after that will cost 100 more than the last. You'll need 5,500 in total to reach level 10, and none of the abilities are locked behind a level.

The Drowned Belt pairs well with the Amphibian Boot underwater, as Water Flows adds to the damage that you deal there, and Fins wins back the swimming speed that Dead Weight takes away. Gills saves your air as well, which gives you longer fights below the surface.

The Jellyfish Necklace goes well with it too, as Electrical Discharge hurts anything that swims into you. The Boot only takes one of your two Feet slots, so the Aqua Walker is able to go on next to it, which lets you walk across the water as well as swim through it.
