Turtle

The Turtle is a passive mob found in beach biomes. It is the only source of turtle scutes, which drop when baby turtles mature into adults. The Turtle can be bred using seagrass and will lay turtle eggs on its home beach. The Turtle drops 0–2 seagrass upon death and has a chance to drop a bowl when killed by lightning. Unlike most passive mobs, the Turtle does not drop experience when killed.

The Turtle can be bred using seagrass. Feeding two Turtle seagrass puts them into love mode, after which one Turtle becomes pregnant. The pregnant Turtle returns to its home beach, where it lays 1–4 turtle eggs in the sand. This Turtle is slightly 0.2 blocks taller than normal while carrying eggs. Baby Turtle hatch from turtle eggs after a few Minecraft nights and take one Minecraft day (20 minutes) to grow into adults. Their growth can be accelerated using seagrass, with each use reducing the remaining growth time by 10%. When a baby Turtle matures, it drops 1 turtle scute, which can be used to craft turtle shells for water breathing effects.

The Turtle moves slowly on land but swims quickly in water. It always returns to its home beach to lay eggs, even if moved elsewhere. Hostile mobs like zombies, drowned, and skeletons attack baby Turtle and turtle eggs, making them vulnerable and requiring protection in farms.
