MC-128243Dolphins, turtles, fish, guardian and elder guardian do not really try to get into the water
The bug
If a dolphin / turtles / guardian / elder guardian / cod / salmon or pufferfish is outside of water they will not really try to get back into it.
EDIT:
| Version | Edit-Comments |
|---|---|
| 18w19a / 18w19b | The dolphins turn in circles and do not find the water. Dolphins just try to get into the water when they are right next to it. If the dolphins are a few blocks away from the water, they still not try to reach it and then die. |
| since 18w20a | Dolphins and fish jump on land and do not really try to get into the water. They jump around in the area more disoriented. Sometimes a dolphin / fish gets into the water by accident, but this is the exception at the moment. If you spawn a fish 1 block next to the water it dies in most of the cases. Dolphins bounce up and down like fish but should rather paddle like the turtles to the water. |
My Tests:
I spawned each entity 5 blocks from a large water source and documented if they made it into the water within 15 seconds.
I have tested this 10 times for each entity.
Version: 18w43c
| Entity | Found water - Tries | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Dolphin | 3 / 10 | 15 seconds |
| Turtle | 3 / 10 | 15 seconds |
| Guardian | 4 / 10 | 15 seconds |
| Elder Guardian | 3 / 10 | 15 seconds |
| Cod | 0 / 10 | 15 seconds |
| Salmon | 1 / 10 | 15 seconds |
| Pufferfish | 1 / 10 | 15 seconds |
Cod / Salmon and Pufferfish die most times before they reach the water
