Realistic Bottlenose Dolphin Trainer Addon [Project Bottlenose]

Hi, I'm DolphinMasterMB! I'm the creator of the Dolphin Trainer Addon! It all started with my experiences with real bottlenose dolphins! I adore them! That's why me and a friend started working on Project Bottlenose! Here we add a Realistic Bottlenose Dolphin to Minecraft including some amazing animations! Like jumps, Tricks, Dances, Petting interactions and a gorgeous swimming animation! All available to try out in this super cool addon! I like to learn and experiment with Minecraft coding! I'm practicing my programming skills everyday! Some features are being worked on daily! Stay tuned for cool new stuff! I'm always improving my content!

Select version for changelog:

Changelog

Increased the Dolphin System Clockspeed! Probably solving the dolphins sometimes failing their jump animations! Also increasing their custom jump rate in the process! Many interactions will be more snappy now! Everything clocks at a higher speed!

 

Also tweaked Riding a bit and fixed a major bug preventing players from breaching and diving(Going up and down) while riding a dolphin!

 

And of course fixed some other bugs aswell!

 

If you encounter any issues or have nice suggestions, report them to me! So I can improve my content!

 

Cheers! ; )

Hi!
I just wanted to start off by saying I oddly love the dolphin textures for the Addon! And would hope you would incorporate something similar into the Orca/Killer Whale Addon you have coming up! (I've been watching your YT). I've had the addon for a while now and the only problem I really have is that when I open the Dolphin AI Menu and click on a button, for example: Jump. It would not proceed to making to dolphin Jump. I would click it again and just like before, nothing would happen. Thus meaning I would only be able to use the older technique of using fish to get them to perform. Which is cool, but its so much easier to use the Dolphin AI Menu.

Hopefully, this can be fixed soon as I'm making a Marine Park in Minecraft and am hoping to have a Dolphin Stadium. Also really quickly, I would absolutely love for more Animal Addons (aquatic and Non Aquatic) made by you. No pressure or anything I just love the textures and the behaviours. But yeah that's really all I had to say!
Cheers!

Hi Bronx06, I have a tip: Try using the AI menu in survival mode instead! There seems to be a common minecraft bug preventing the menu from working in creative mode! For me it still works great in survival mode! Maybe give it a try! I'm working on pretty cool stuff! Do you maybe have any ideas? Btw i'm in need of some new models, specifically ultra realistic ones for my project! But i'm not that great at making those! I'm more focused on making great AI systems! Have a nice day! Cheers! ; )

Hi DolphinMasterMB,
Your idea of using the AI Menu in Survival worked! Thanks for the tip! I have a couple ideas for cool projects for you. I reckon Orca/Killer Whales, Sea Lions, Walruses, Penguins, etc. Pretty much anything that can trained. I know Penguins can't be trained, but like you said, your good at AI systems.

Even non-aquatic animals I think you'd be good at. Like for example if you did an Artic Addon, you could add mobs such as wolves (these would have different textures than the official Minecraft ones), which would hunt in groups of 7 or 8, and would attack you if they saw you or something like that. They may be able to be tamed or "befriended" which would Neutralise them and you'd be able to co-exist among them. The addon could include Mammoths, which the player could attack and the Mammoth could maybe attack them back using their tusks. Other mobs that could be in this addon could be for example like the Orca, Penguins, Walruses, etc. There could be a new biome introduced such as the Artic Mountains, which could be these massive mountains and then surrounding those mountains could be Ice Caves, Wooden Shacks, etc. I don't know this is just all an Idea. I kind of went a bit crazy, sorry lol. But yeah, just things like that. I would like make addons but I suck at coding and textures, lmao.

Another idea that I have is like what if you made a perimeter block? Its quite like the barrier block: When you have it in your hand, you can see it. But when you don't have it in your hand, you can't. It would be used to set a "boundary" for the Dolphins or what ever animal. This would help make sure your dolphins aren't jumping out of their enclosure's and would also help for dolphin shows. Because, while they don't jump very far, they still can jump out of the water. And for someone like me, who loves building aquariums, it would just make a whole lot more sense to have a set boundary for my dolphins.

READ ON TO NEXT COMMENT! RUNNING OUT OF SPACE!

I've probably rambled on for long enough and for that I'm gratefully sorry, lol.

But one last thing I think would be cool to have is a group dolphin swim. This could also be another benefit of the perimeter block. Lets say you've got seven dolphins: You (as the player) would assign one of those dolphins as "group leader", therefore making this the matriarch of the pod. When given the task of "Group Swim", this specific dolphin would whistle and all the other dolphins would gather on each side of her. The pod would then start a "Group Swim" starting from the players right and ending on the players left. The matriarch would lead the pod around the enclosure, using the perimeters block as a guide. Even though the blocks are invisible, the matriarch knows where to go. Maybe you could even use the perimeter block to assign a dolphin as the matriarch.

Sorry for the long comments, but these are my ideas. So hopefully you gain some other ideas from these, or feel free to use them yourself!
Cheers!

Hi there Bronx06, I took some time to read your suggestions carefully! I came to the conclusion, your idea of an Artic addon maybe is a bit much, considering i'm specialized specifically in dolphin related systems! But I can at least try some parts, when I have some extra time and energy! About the perimeter block idea: I actually already experimented with such feature, but I kinda left it aside for a while, because it didn't work as intended! Kinda frustrating lol! About the Group swim and Matriarch: I kinda have those already in the addon secretly! I experimented with group interactions in the past and left those in the actual addon lol! Also dolphins sometimes form groups at their own leaded by a matriarch! But I will consider making more player controllable dolphin group interactions! The idea of assigning a matriarch to do a group swim by the player, sounds pretty nice to me! I will make work of it for the future! I will keep experimenting with new concepts too! Have a nice day! Cheers! ; )

i dont like the new model, it doesn't fit Minecraft at all, maybe make a version where it has the Minecraft dolphin model
1
Maybe try the Dolphin Trainer Addon beta! It includes vanilla Minecraft dolphins using my advanced AI! It's on my channel! Cheers! ; )

Although the model clearly does not fit well with the game, I like the model and the new features that the dolphin has.

Thanks! We will improve the model in future updates, as wel as updating everything to fit better with the new model! Stay tuned for improvements! Cheers! ; )

U rly like dolphins, maybe make it less blocky

We will definitely try making the dolphins more smooth in future updates! Stay tuned! Cheers! ; )
