Template:For Template:Infobox entity Dolphins are aquatic Minecraft:neutral mobs that live in non-frozen Minecraft:oceans. They grant a speed boost to Minecraft:players that Minecraft:swim near them and follow the player while swimming.
Spawning
Dolphins are found in groups (pods) of 1-2Template:Only or 3-5Template:Only in all Minecraft:ocean biomes, excluding frozen oceans and cold oceans. They spawn exclusively between levels 50 and 64. Dolphins continuously spawn as long as their spawn requirements are met, and naturally despawn if no players are nearby, similar to Minecraft:squid and Minecraft:nautiluses.
Template:IN, dolphins, squids, and nautiluses together make up the water creatures Minecraft:mob cap.
Dolphins have a 10% chance to spawn as a baby.
Drops
On death
- Template:Xp, if kill credit is given to the player.
Killing a baby dolphin yields neither items nor experience.
Behavior
Dolphins normally swim in pods, occasionally leaping out of the Minecraft:water to get air. They are also able to jump from one body of water to another. Additionally, they chase after Minecraft:players in Minecraft:boats but do not give the speed boost effect.
Players who sprint-swim within a 9 block spherical radius of a dolphin receive a swimming speed boost for 5 seconds, replenished as long as the player continues to sprint-swim within a 15 block spherical radius of a dolphin. Minecraft:Invisibility reduces both of these ranges like normal, based on the amount of armor the player is wearing. Template:IN, the speed boost is granted by the Minecraft:Dolphin's Grace effect, while Template:In the player simply gets the speed boost without a status effect. The dolphin keeps following the player as long as they are sprint-swimming, allowing the player to swim under the speed boost for long distances.
Template:IN, dolphins are lured by dropped items that are inside nearby water blocks, picking them up, throwing around and chasing after them. If the dolphin is in, or on, a Minecraft:waterlogged bottom Minecraft:slab or Minecraft:chest with an Minecraft:air block above, or a bubble column, the dolphin is prevented from drowning.
When a player or another mob hits a dolphin (unless the dolphin is killed in one hit Template:In), the whole pod retaliates, attacking all at once, similar to Minecraft:wolves and Minecraft:zombified piglins. Hostile dolphins remain hostile even if they are fed fish. Hostile dolphins are far more dangerous Template:In.
When dolphins are fed raw fish, they swim to the nearest Minecraft:shipwreck or Minecraft:ocean ruins; Template:In, the structures a dolphin can locate are defined in the dolphin_located tag. Dolphins also avoid Minecraft:guardians and Minecraft:elder guardians.
Unlike most “animal” mobs, dolphins cannot Minecraft:breed. Baby dolphins can only be found when they naturally spawn. A baby dolphin eventually turns into an adult after 24000 ticks (20 minutes), and its growth time can be accelerated by 10% each time it is fed fish. A baby dolphin fed a fish once per second grows up in approximately 48 seconds using 47 fish.
Like many other Minecraft:baby mobs, a Minecraft:golden dandelion can be used on a baby dolphin to prevent it from growing up, or used a second time to resume its aging.
Dolphins do not deal any damage in Minecraft:Peaceful difficulty and are completely passive.
Unlike other neutral mobs, dolphins do not count towards the Template:Cd tag.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Weaknesses
If a dolphin leaves the Minecraft:water in dry weather, it starts taking suffocation damage after two minutes, and eventually dies. It takes no damage out of water during Minecraft: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 air. If they stay submerged for about four minutes, they begin Minecraft:drowning. The Minecraft:Water Breathing effect prevents them from drowning.
Like most other aquatic mobs, dolphins cannot ride Minecraft:boats. However, they can be towed by a Minecraft:lead.
Template:IN, the dolphin is an aquatic Minecraft:mob and is thus affected by the Minecraft:Impaling enchantment. Template:IN, it is only affected when in the water, as all mobs are.
Breeding
Dolphins cannot be bred by the player. Baby dolphins only occur through natural spawning in the wild.

Entity data
Dolphins have entity data associated with them that contains various properties.

- Template:Nbt Entity data
- Template:Nbt inherit/breedable
- Template:Nbt inherit/entity
- Template:Nbt inherit/mob
- Template:Nbt: How moist this dolphin is. Set to 2400 when in water or rain. Decreases by 1 every tick otherwise. The dolphin takes damage when 0 or below.
- Template:Nbt: 1 or 0 (true/false) - if true, this dolphin got fish from a player.

Issues
Trivia
- To create the Minecraft:sounds that the dolphins make in the game, Minecraft:Mojang Studios' lead sound designer, Minecraft:Samuel Åberg, went to Kolmården Wildlife Park to record real dolphins.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref>
- Dolphins originally had a separate head and body when shown in a clip at Minecraft:MINECON 2017. It is also shown in artwork for Minecraft:Java Edition 1.13, the Bundles of Bravery trailer, an episode of the Minecraft:AI Adventurers series,<ref>Template:YouTube link</ref> Minecraft: Volume 2,<ref>Template:Cite Instagram</ref> and Minecraft:Minecraft Annual 2025.
- Real-life dolphins don't suffocate outside of water; they breathe air like all mammals, although they can die of dehydration out of water.
- In 2018, a prediction poll was held in which Chinese users could vote on which Chinese animal they expected to see in Minecraft, to promote the release of Minecraft China. One of the options for voting was the possibly extinct baiji dolphin. The Minecraft:panda won the poll and was announced days later at Minecraft:MINECON Earth 2018.<ref>https://mc.163.com/pe/client/activity/voteforanimalpc/</ref>
- Mojang has considered and rejected the suggestion to allow dolphins to be tamed or ridden. They also decided against adding behaviors that deviate significantly from real-life dolphins, such as fleeing from Minecraft:drowned.<ref>
