What is Scute in Minecraft?
A scute is a special item that a baby sea turtle drops when it grows into an adult. It looks like a small, greenish plate from a turtle's shell. It is a unique resource that you can only get by raising turtles yourself. Its one and only purpose is to be crafted into a turtle shell helmet. This special helmet not only provides protection but also gives you the ability to breathe underwater for a short time, making it very useful for exploring ocean ruins or building underwater. Collecting scutes is a fun and rewarding process that encourages players to interact with and care for the wildlife in their world. It is a great item for any ocean explorer.
How to get Scute in Minecraft
The only way to get a scute is by helping baby sea turtles grow up. First, you need to find at least two sea turtles, which are usually found on beach biomes. You need to feed them both seagrass to encourage them to breed. One of the turtles will then dig in the sand on its home beach and lay a clutch of turtle eggs. You must protect these eggs from being trampled or attacked by hostile mobs like zombies. After some time, the eggs will hatch into tiny baby sea turtles. You can help them grow faster by feeding them seagrass. When a baby turtle finally grows into an adult, it will drop one single scute as a thank you. You will need to raise five turtles to get enough scutes for a helmet.
How to use Scute in Minecraft
The main use for a scute is to craft a turtle shell helmet. To do this, you need five scutes. Go to a crafting table and place the five scutes in the same shape you would use to craft any other helmet. This will create one turtle shell. Wearing this helmet gives you two armor points and a special status effect called Water Breathing for ten seconds. This effect refreshes every time you come up for air. The turtle shell is also a key ingredient for brewing a Potion of the Turtle Master. You add the helmet to an Awkward Potion to create this unique potion, which grants high resistance but also slowness, making you feel like a turtle.
