Spawn

The Dolphins spawn in packs of 3-5 in any ocean near the players. However, they do no spawn in a frozen ocean or cold ocean. Baby dolphins have a 10% chance of spawning naturally.

Behaviour and Drops

The Dolphins are Neutral mobs that will not attack the players, if the players haven’t harmed them. However, if the players attack one dolphin, the rest of the pack will also attack the player.

Dolphins leap out of water to get air and can drown if not surfaced for 4 minutes. They can also travel on land, if stranded, and move towards the nearest water body. If they don’t reach it then they suffocate and take damage.

Dolphins also play around with dropped items in the ocean and knock them about with their snouts.

Dolphins can be fed Raw Cod and Raw Salmon to improve their friendship with players. However, once a dolphin is angered it doesn’t calm stop attacking even if fed fish.

The Dolphin Minecraft mob drops some raw cod if killed.

Benefits

Players can get a significant swimming speed boost if they are close to a Dolphin. This status effect is called Dolphin’s Grace.

Moreover, when fed raw cod or salmon, the Dolphin will swim towards the nearest treasure chest in the vicinity. This can either be shipwrecks, ocean ruins or buried treasure. Breaking the chest leads to the dolphin pointing to another chest.

Players can easily use this find amazing treasures and hidden structures that would normally be hard to find.

However, since Dolphins avoid Guardians and Elder Guardians, it cannot lead to a Ocean Monument.

The Dolphin mob cannot be tamed by the player but can be taken along using a lead.

These are all the interesting features of the Dolphin Minecraft mob!
