I seem to be having difficulties feeding/taming dolphins. Is this feature implemented yet? I seem to recall some ludicrous story about how they were going to drop the taming feature for fear of kids believing that they could do it in real life. I'm on xbone and maybe just pressing the wrong button, but tried every variety and combination possible!
I don't think you can tame them. You should be able to feed them raw cod and they will lead you to the nearest shipwreck or ruin (according to the wiki).
If I remember correctly the 'ludicrous' stories came from some of the devs twitter accounts.
Not in the wiki, but I have noticed that while swimming they will sometimes push you along allowing faster swimming and they will do something similar while rowing. I'm in the beta so some of this behavior might not be in the regular game yet.
Well I've tried dropping fish in the water and feeding them by hand but nothing happens. Maybe it isn't implemented yet, as there are a couple more features still to come yet.
And I definitely thought they originally planned for dolphins to be rideable ?
Oceans are definitely more interesting than before though. Really pretty biome now.
As an aside, and not sure if it's new, but if you click the left stick to exit the boat you stand on the boat rather than fall in the water. I much prefer that, and you can also crouch on the boat.
Yeah, no dolphin riding, probably no turtle riding either which could have been cool. Like those little torpedo-looking things that scuba divers use. I don't envy the devs, no matter what they do someone will be upset.
Overall I'm really enjoying all of the aquatic additions. One of the best updates so far.
Apparently the bug report now says working as intended.
I was sailing around yesterday mapping the ocean around the islands on the seed I'm using and suddenly the dolphins started knocking me out of the boat. I got back in but they kept knocking me out. Then I noticed something at the bottom of the sea and when I swam down to it I found a ruin so I guess it is working.

Just found a bug report for it..

I think its a PE bug report but finding the same issue on xbone

Yeah me too, under water looks great. Don't mind not being able to tame dolphins, just thought I was doing it wrong

Actually, the ability to stand on boats could be a slight problem for people using boat elevators 🤔
Shouldn't matter because bubble columns make an awesome elevator. They look cool too.
Bubble columns? I'll look them up
