What is Turtle Shell in Minecraft?
A turtle shell is a unique piece of armor that you can wear as a helmet. It is made from the scutes of baby sea turtles. What makes the turtle shell so special is that it gives you a magical ability. When you wear it and go underwater, it gives you the Water Breathing status effect for ten seconds, allowing you to stay underwater longer without needing potions. It offers the same amount of protection as an iron helmet, making it a very useful piece of gear for anyone who plans on exploring the ocean. It is also a key ingredient for a very powerful potion.
How to get Turtle Shell in Minecraft
Getting a turtle shell requires some patience and a love for animals. You cannot find it; you must craft it. To craft one, you need five scutes. The only way to get scutes is from baby sea turtles. First, you need to find sea turtles, which spawn on warm beach biomes. You can breed two adult sea turtles by feeding them seagrass. One of them will then travel back to its home beach to lay eggs. You must protect these eggs from mobs like zombies until they hatch into baby turtles. When a baby sea turtle grows up into an adult, it will drop one single scute. You will need to raise five baby turtles to get enough scutes to craft your turtle shell.
How to use Turtle Shell in Minecraft
To use a turtle shell, you wear it in your helmet armor slot. It provides two armor points, the same as an iron helmet. Its special power activates automatically. Every time you submerge your head in water, you will get ten seconds of water breathing. This can be refreshed by briefly surfacing. This makes it amazing for quick underwater jobs. The other major use for a turtle shell is in brewing. It is the main ingredient for creating a Potion of the Turtle Master. This powerful potion gives you high levels of Resistance, making you very hard to hurt, but it also gives you Slowness, making you very slow.
