Additions

 * Blocks

 * Fancy, slippery, bluer variant of Packed Ice.
 * Spawns in the new Icebergs
 * Conduit

 * The Conduit emits a strong glow, at light level 15
 * Spawn with water despite not having the waterlogged tag (MC-128238, MC-128236)


 * Items
 * Heart of the Sea
 * Used to craft the Conduit.
 * Nautilus Shell
 * Used to craft the Conduit.
 * Can be found by fishing.
 * The Drowned mob occasionally spawns holding a Nautilus Shell.


 * Mobs
 * Dolphins
 * Spawns in any ocean that isn't frozen.
 * Passive mob, but can attack in groups.
 * Plays with near items by picking them up and dropping them after a very short moment.
 * Chase after boats.

Changes

 * Water
 * Got a new texture.
 * Water now only blocks 1 light per block, instead of 3.
 * This only affects newly placed water - we will relight all chunks in an upcoming snapshot.
 * Ocean variants have their own water colors, and swamp color was changed.
 * In newly generated chunks, you're less likely to find frozen ocean next to warm ocean (and similar).

Swimming

 * You can now swim through one block holes.
 * The transition between swimming and normal state is now smoother.
