Dolphins

Each active Dolphin grants its configured potion effect or attribute bonus for as long as it remains active. The default file defines six types, and server owners can edit, remove or add types in dolphins.yml.

A closer look

Dark Dolphin

Resistance II is useful when a player wants to reduce incoming damage. Its recipe uses Slot Reroll items and prismarine materials.

Speed Dolphin

Speed I and Dolphin's Grace I support faster movement on land and in water.

Flame Dolphin

Fire Resistance protects the player from fire and lava damage while the Dolphin is active.

Power Dolphin

Strength I increases the player's melee damage.

Healthy Dolphin

The max_health bonus is 6 health points, which adds 3 hearts to the default health bar. The bonus is removed cleanly when the Dolphin is no longer active.

Assassin Dolphin

Night Vision stays active, and sneaking speed increases from the normal 0.3 to 0.6. A player killed by an Assassin holder drops one more active Dolphin than the configured PvP amount, when the victim has enough active Dolphins. See PvP drops.

Activating Dolphins

Right click a tagged Dolphin item while you have a free slot. Activation consumes one item and applies its effect or bonus. Trying to activate an already-active type or activating with no free slot leaves the item in your inventory.

Good to know

If you are looking at a chest, crafting table or other usable block, a normal right click opens it. Sneak and right click to activate the Dolphin instead. Tagged Dolphin items are also blocked from unrelated crafting recipes and loom or entity interactions.
