There are many games available on different platforms for different age groups. They Promote violence and spread false information without thinking how it can affect somebody’s life or decisions. In between these games, we can find Minecraft and it doesn’t promote any violence. This article will solely answer your question of how to collect turtle eggs in Minecraft.
We can say Minecraft is different from other games in so many ways. Its first quality is that it is available for all children and that’s why it doesn’t have any explicit content in it. Minecraft promotes creativity in more than one way. This game doesn’t have any end to it and we can play it all the time. It is a very unique game if we will look at it carefully.
There are a lot of games that have multiple modes in it but Minecraft has only two very interesting ways. They both teach us different values and ways to do things. We are required to use massive logic to game this game correctly.
The creative mode of this game promotes our ability to use different things available around us to make unique things. And the survival mode teaches us how to survive in the game and complete the different tasks.
This article will be very exciting for all Minecraft lovers because we will talk about sea turtles. They have a very interesting purpose in the Minecraft world and they can be really helpful for the survival of our precious players. We will also talk about a hard substance we get from baby turtles and that is scute.
1. Turtles In The Minecraft World
As we have talked about in the above section sea turtles are a very important part of our Minecraft world. There are other animals also present in the game but sea turtles have a special advantage. If someone doesn’t know where they can find sea turtles they should read this section carefully. Anyone can easily find sea turtles in any water biome or the beaches near the sea.
It is very important to know that they are only present on the brown beach sand and not on the red sand. If we can find two adult sea turtles near the beach at the same time then we can make them breed. The breeding of sea turtles starts only with the help of seagrass and we can find it underwater. We will tell you how to collect seagrass in the next portion.
Always remember that even if the sea turtle is miles away from its breeding spot they will go back there to lay their eggs. It is the best thing if you can follow them. Also, know that only one of the two breeding sea turtles gets pregnant and goes back to its home to lay eggs.
If you are planning to breed many sea turtles and the same time then make sure to make a farm beforehand to keep them safe and to prevent them from escaping in the water.
2. What Is Seagrass in Minecraft
In the Minecraft world seagrass and sea turtles always go together. The sea turtles only breed when they show them seagrass and they grow up eating seagrass only. When the sea turtles die or we kill them they leave behind a few blocks of both long and short seagrass.
To obtain seagrass in the game we have to make shears because if we will try to get them barehanded they will break on the spot.
The shear is the only weapon in the game that can help us to collect both short and long seagrass. To get shears first we have to make iron ingots and we can get that by putting iron ores with coal in the furnace. After this, we have to put three iron ingots specially to get shears.
When we get the shears we can drink a special portion infused with the ability to breathe underwater for a long time. Now we can go into the water biome and start collecting seagrass. Seagrass also helps us to feed it to the baby turtles to make them grow into the adult ones quickly.
3. The Turtle Eggs In Minecraft
We can get turtle eggs from the sea turtles in the Minecraft world. The first step should be to go underwater and collect seagrass. Now show it to two adult sea turtles and they will start breading on the beach near the water biome.
After they finish breeding one sea turtle will get pregnant and we will be able to see a little bump under it. Now the pregnant sea turtle goes back to the place where it was born and tries to find the same spot on the sand.
Now when it finds the spot it starts digging into the sand and lays its eggs there. After laying the eggs sea turtles sit beside them and they lay around 4 eggs each time they breed. We can make the sea turtle breed right after they finish laying the eggs. To collect the sea turtle eggs we need a special silk-enchanted pickaxe. We will talk about that in the next section.
When we get the silk-enchanted pickaxe we can collect the turtle eggs from the sand. Please note that sea turtle eggs have to be on the brown beach sand to hatch and it takes them some days to hatch. It is better to stay awake at night if you are hatching many turtle eggs and the same time.
The sea turtle eggs are very fragile and they can break if we jump on them and the creature in Minecraft tries to break as many eggs as possible.
4. The Right Tool To Get Turtle Eggs
When we want to collect sea turtle eggs it is important to know that we need silk enchanted pickaxe for that sole purpose. If we try to collect the turtle eggs with barehanded the eggs will break into pieces. The turtle eggs can stick to anything without support.
Everyone knows how to forge a pickaxe but not many people know how to make it silk touched. For this, we would need the enchantment book and we can get them by fishing. Opening random chests or trading with the villagers. Once we get both the pickaxe and enchantment book we have to go to the enchantment table. If we will put them together it will form the silk-touched enchanted pickaxe. Now we are free to use the pickaxe for collecting the turtle eggs.
5. Scute
The sea turtles have the sole purpose of providing us the useful material called scute. It is a hard shell-like material that we can use for different purposes. To get the scute we have to hatch the turtle eggs and then feed seagrass to the baby turtles. After a few minutes, they will turn into the adult sea turtles. When they transform they leave a special substance and that is exactly the scute.
We can use the scute to make a helmet because it is too strong to break easily. That helmet also gives us the ability to stay inside the water for longer. It can also help us to form a portion to slow down the movements of the creatures that come to kill us. We can prepare another portion to protect the player from the attack of creatures in the survival mode.
If you are willing to get a lot of scutes then you need to hatch many eggs at the same time. You can use a method to build a special farm to grow baby turtles. We can make it in a special way that when they grow up they will leave the farm easily.
6. Final Note
Minecraft is a great game if it comes to creativity level. We can build our house or the whole town along with the farms. This game consists of two different modes the survival mode and the creative mode. The turtle eggs are one of the many interesting things available in the Minecraft world. We can collect the seagrass from the different water biomes by the use of shears.
Seagrass is the sole ingredient to make the two adult turtles breed then one of them gets pregnant with a bump. Then the sea turtle will go and find a perfect spot in the brown sand of the beach and dig. After the successful digging the sea turtle will lay the eggs in the pit and they will be around five in number.
We can use the silk-enchanted pickaxe to collect the turtle eggs. For the silk enchantment, you would need the enchantment books and they are available in chests around the town. The baby turtles give us scute, a hard substance when they grow up. Scutes are useful to make a helmet that can give us immense protection. It also gives us the ability to breathe underwater for longer than usual.
