How to Get a Turtle Egg in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can snag yourself some turtle eggs in Minecraft? You’re not alone. This guide will walk you through the steps to obtaining these precious blocks.
Getting turtle eggs in Minecraft might seem tricky, but we’ve got the scoop on how to do it. So, keep on reading!
Easy Steps to Obtaining Turtle Eggs
First off, finding turtle eggs in Minecraft requires finding turtles! These peaceful creatures spawn on beaches, so that’s where your adventure starts. You’ll need two turtles to make this work.
Once you find the turtles, you’ll need to feed them seagrass. Seagrass can be found underwater, and you might need shears to collect it. After feeding the seagrass to the turtles, they will enter love mode and eventually lay turtle eggs on the beach where they spawned. Watch out though; it may take some time!
Protecting Your New Turtle Eggs
After the turtles lay their eggs, you’ll want to protect them. Turtle eggs can be destroyed by jumping on them or by hostile mobs. One way to protect the eggs is by building a fence around them. This way, you can ensure they hatch safely.
It takes a few in-game days for turtle eggs to hatch. Once they do, baby turtles will emerge, and when they grow up, they will drop scutes. You can use scutes to craft a turtle shell helmet, which gives you a bit more underwater breathing time. Neat, right?
