dolphin-fix
by Tazgirl
Dolphin Fix is a server-side Forge and NeoForge mod that stops dolphins from drowning when they cannot move and no players are nearby.
What it does
Dolphins kept in aquariums or contraptions normally need bubble columns to stay alive. The mod adds extra prevention for dryout damage that occurs while a dolphin is unable to move or is stuck in the air after a jump. The mod does not load chunks; it only blocks drowning damage under the set conditions, so the fix applies when no players are around.
Key features
Dryout damage prevention
Dolphins are protected from dryout damage while they cannot move or are stuck midair after jumping.
Adjustable tolerance
A config option sets the tolerance and the safety air a dolphin keeps before the protection applies.
Toggle switches
Both prevention fixes can be enabled or disabled separately in the config file.

What the author says
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)
