Attacking a dolphin will cause that dolphin and nearby dolphins to attack you. Be careful where you swing. Dolphins will follow the player and grant them a speed boost if the player is sprinting in the water. Show Dolphins jumping in water. Dolphins normally swim in pods, occasionally leaping out of the water to get air. They are also able to jump from one body of water to another. Additionally, they chase after players in boats. Players who sprint swim within a 9 block spherical radius of a dolphin receive Dolphin's Grace for 5 seconds[Java Edition only]. Players with Invisibility do not receive the effect unless they already had Dolphin's Grace before receiving Invisibility, or if they are wearing armor. In Bedrock Edition, the player simply gets a swimming speed boost without a status effect. Dolphins are lured by dropped items that are inside nearby water blocks, knocking them around and chasing them.[Java Edition only] If the dolphin can not find a path to a dropped item, the dolphin may stay underwater to the point of drowning.[1] If the dolphin is in, or on, a waterlogged bottom slab or chest with an air block above, the dolphin is prevented from drowning. Should the player or another mob hit a dolphin (unless the dolphin is killed within one hit[Java Edition only]), the whole pod retaliates, attacking all at once similar to wolves and zombified piglins. Hostile dolphins remain hostile even if they are fed fish. Feeding dolphins raw cod or raw salmon improves their "trust" and interactions with the player, depending on the amount of fish fed. When dolphins are fed raw cod or raw salmon, they swim to the nearest shipwreck, buried treasure, or ocean ruins. Because they are locating the chest in the structures rather than the structures themselves, breaking the chests causes the dolphin to locate a new structure with intact chests. Dolphins also avoid guardians and elder guardians. Weaknesses[]If a dolphin leaves the water in dry weather, it starts taking suffocation damage after two minutes, and eventually dies. It takes no damage out of water during rain. Regardless of weather, a dolphin on land actively seeks out a body of water, or seeks its target if in a hostile state. They cannot survive without getting air every once in a while, so if they stay submerged for about four minutes they begin drowning. The water breathing effect prevents them from drowning. Dolphins cannot ride boats, similarly to squid and all types of fish. Dolphins can be towed by a lead. Because the dolphin is an aquatic mob, they are affected by the Impaling enchantment.[Java Edition only] Sounds[]Java Edition: distancehttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_idle1.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_idle2.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_idle3.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_idle4.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_idle5.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_idle6.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_blowhole1.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_blowhole2.oggDolphin chirpsFriendly CreaturesRandomly while on land entity.dolphin.ambient subtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient 1.00.8-1.216https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_water_idle1.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_water_idle2.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_water_idle3.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_water_idle4.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_water_idle5.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_water_idle6.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_water_idle7.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_water_idle8.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_water_idle9.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_water_idle10.oggDolphin whistlesFriendly CreaturesRandomly while in waterentity.dolphin.ambient_water subtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient_water 1.0 [sound 1]0.8-1.216https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_eat1.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_eat2.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_eat3.oggDolphin eatsFriendly CreaturesWhen a fish is fed to a dolphinentity.dolphin.eat subtitles.entity.dolphin.eat 0.751.016https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_attack1.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_attack2.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_attack3.oggDolphin attacksFriendly CreaturesWhen a dolphin attacks somethingentity.dolphin.attack subtitles.entity.dolphin.attack 1.01.016https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_death1.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_death2.oggDolphin diesFriendly CreaturesWhen a dolphin diesentity.dolphin.death subtitles.entity.dolphin.death 1.00.8-1.216https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_hurt1.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_hurt2.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_hurt3.oggDolphin hurtsFriendly CreaturesWhen a dolphin is damagedsubtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient 0subtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient 11.00.8-1.216https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_jump1.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_jump2.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_jump3.oggDolphin jumpsFriendly CreaturesWhen a dolphin jumpssubtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient 2subtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient 30.751.016https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_play1.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_play2.oggDolphin playsFriendly CreaturesRandomly when a dolphin finds an itemsubtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient 4subtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient 51.01.016https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_splash1.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_splash2.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_splash3.oggDolphin splashesFriendly CreaturesWhen a dolphin enters watersubtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient 6subtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient 7Around 0.1 or 0.02[sound 2]0.6-1.416https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_swim1.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_swim2.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_swim3.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Dolphin_swim4.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Fish_swim5.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Fish_swim6.ogghttps://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/File:Fish_swim7.oggDolphin swimsFriendly CreaturesWhile a dolphin is swimmingsubtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient 8subtitles.entity.dolphin.ambient 9Around 0.03[sound 3]0.8-1.216
