About this project
What does Dolphin Fix add?
A very lightweight server side mod that prevents dolphins from drowning when no players are around so you can have dolphins in aquariums or contraptions without the need for constant bubble columns.
(Doesn't load chunks, just prevents dolphins from taking drowning damage based on certain parameters)
As of 1.2.0:
Additional prevention for dryout damage while unable to move or while stuck midair after jumping
Added config to enable/disable both prevention fixes as well as to adjust the tolerance and safety air
Please submit any issues or version requests through GitHub.
