Build /summon commands with custom NBT for every vanilla mob — baby variants, equipment, colors, and mob-specific options.

Run /summon from an operator’s chat, a command block, or the server console. Not every internal NBT field is covered — this generates the commonly-used ones for each mob.

How to Use the Dolphin Summon Generator

  1. Type dolphin into the search box, or select it from the Passive group in the dropdown.
  2. Dolphin has no mob-specific fields, so the panel only shows the common options shared by every mob: position, custom name, health override, and behavior flags like No AI, Silent, or Glowing.
  3. Set any of those common fields you need, then copy the generated /summon command into a command block, server console, or operator chat.

Command Syntax & NBT Reference

Base command: /summon minecraft:dolphin ~ ~ ~, with {NBT} appended only if you’ve set one of the shared fields above the mob panel:

  • CustomName:'{"text":"..."}' – gives the dolphin a name tag visible above its head.
  • Health:Nf plus a matching max_health attribute – overrides its default HP.
  • NoAI:1b – freezes it in place with no movement or attack behavior, useful for display purposes.
  • Glowing:1b, Silent:1b, Invulnerable:1b, PersistenceRequired:1b – the standard cosmetic/utility flags available to every mob in this tool.

Dolphin has no dedicated fields of its own in this generator because it has no variant, baby stage, or equipment slot in vanilla Minecraft – its NBT profile is essentially just the shared entity tags plus its natural swimming AI, which needs no toggle to enable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn’t Dolphin have any mob-specific options like other animals do?

Because dolphins genuinely don’t have any unique NBT fields worth exposing – no color variant, no baby/adult NBT distinction beyond the standard age mechanic, and nothing equippable. Mobs like Fox or Llama get dedicated fields here specifically because their vanilla data supports those options; Dolphin’s data doesn’t.

Will this summoned dolphin still give players the Dolphin’s Grace effect when swimming nearby?

Yes – Dolphin’s Grace (the speed boost players get swimming near a dolphin) is baseline dolphin AI tied to the entity type itself, active on a summoned dolphin exactly as it would be on a wild one, with no NBT required to turn it on.

Does this dolphin still fetch treasure from shipwrecks for the player?

Yes – the “lead the player to treasure” behavior triggered by feeding a wild dolphin raw cod or salmon works identically on a summoned dolphin, since that behavior comes from the entity’s built-in AI rather than any spawn-time NBT flag.

Will a summoned dolphin suffocate out of water like a wild one would?

Yes – dolphins are aquatic mobs and take damage over time when stuck out of water past a short grace period, exactly like naturally spawned ones. Setting NoAI:1b stops it from swimming back to water on its own, but doesn’t stop the suffocation damage itself.
