Many games are available on different platforms for different age groups. Many of them promote violence and spread false information without considering how it can affect somebody’s life or decisions. We can find Minecraft, which doesn’t encourage violence among these games.

1. Minecraft

Minecraft is different from other games in many ways. Its first quality is that it is available for all children, and that’s why it doesn’t have any explicit content. Minecraft promotes creativity in more than one way. This game doesn’t have an end, and we can play it all the time. It is a very unique game if we look at it carefully.

Many games have multiple modes, but Minecraft has only two interesting ways. They both teach us different values and ways to do things. We are required to use massive logic to play this game correctly.

The creative mode of this game promotes our ability to use different things around us to make unique things. The survival mode teaches us how to survive in the game and complete the other tasks.

This article will be very exciting for all Minecraft lovers because we will discuss sea turtles. They have a very interesting purpose in the Minecraft world and can help the survival of our precious players. We will also discuss a hard substance we get from baby turtles: scute.

2. Turtles In The Minecraft World

As discussed in the above section, sea turtles are a very important part of our Minecraft world. Other animals are also in the game, but sea turtles have a special advantage. If someone doesn’t know where to find sea turtles, they should read this section carefully. Anyone can easily find sea turtles in any water biome or on beaches near the sea.

It is very important to know that they are only present on brown beach sand, not red sand. If we can find two adult sea turtles near the beach simultaneously, we can make them breed. Sea turtle breeding starts only with seagrass, which we can see 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, it will return to lay its eggs. It is best to follow them. Also, know that only one of the two breeding sea turtles gets pregnant and returns to its home to lay eggs. If you breed many sea turtles at once, build a farm beforehand to keep them safe and prevent them from escaping into the water. 

3. What Is Seagrass in Minecraft?

In Minecraft, 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 long and short seagrass.

We must make shears to obtain seagrass in the game because they will break on the spot if we try to get them barehanded.  The shear is the only weapon in the game that can help us collect both short and long seagrass. We first have to make iron ingots to get shears, which we can do by putting iron ores with coal in the furnace. After this, we must combine three iron ingots. 

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 feed it to the baby turtles to make them grow into adult ones quickly.

4. How To Collect 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 gets pregnant, and we can see a little bump under it. The pregnant sea turtle returns to where it was born and tries to find the same spot on the sand. When it finds the place, it starts digging into the sand and lays its eggs there.

After laying the eggs, sea turtles sit beside them, laying around four eggs each time they breed. We can make the sea turtles breed right after laying the eggs. To collect the sea turtle eggs, we need a special silk-enchanted pickaxe. When we get the silk-enchanted pickaxe, we can collect the turtle eggs from the sand.

Please note that sea turtle eggs must be on the brown beach sand to hatch, and it takes them some days. It is better to stay awake at night if you are hatching many turtle eggs simultaneously. Sea turtle eggs are very fragile and can break if we jump on them. The creature in Minecraft tries to break as many eggs as possible. 

5. The Right Tool To Get Turtle Eggs

When we want to collect sea turtle eggs, we need an enchanted pickaxe for that sole purpose. If we try to collect the eggs barehanded, they will break into pieces, and they can stick to anything without support.  Everyone knows how to forge a pickaxe, but few people know how to make it silk-touched.

We need the enchantment book, which we can get by fishing, opening random chests, or trading with the villagers. Once we get the pickaxe and enchantment book, we must go to the table. If we put them together, they will form the silk-touched enchanted pickaxe. Now, we are free to use the pickaxe to collect turtle eggs. 

6. Scute

Sea turtles exist solely to provide us with 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 feed the baby turtles seagrass. After a few minutes, they will turn into adult sea turtles. When they transform, they leave a special substance, exactly the scute. 

We can use the scute to make a helmet because it is too strong to break easily. That helmet also allows us 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 creatures’ attacks in the survival mode

If you are willing to get many scutes, you must hatch many eggs simultaneously. You can use a method to build a special farm to grow baby turtles. We can make it so that they will leave the farm easily when they grow up.

7. 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. Turtle eggs are one of the many interesting things in Minecraft. We can collect the seagrass from the different water biomes using shears. 

Seagrass is the sole ingredient in breeding two adult turtles, and one of them gets pregnant with a bump. Then, the sea turtle finds a perfect spot in the brown sand of the beach and digs. After the successful digging, the sea turtle lays the eggs in the pit, which will be around five in number.  

We can use the silk-enchanted pickaxe to collect the turtle eggs. You would need the enchantment books available in chests around the town for the silk enchantment. The baby turtles give us scute, a hard substance when they grow up. Scutes are useful for making helmets that provide us with immense protection. They also give us the ability to breathe underwater for longer than usual.
