Minecraft turtle: eggs, scutes and the turtle shell

The turtle is a passive animal of sandy beaches, though not snowy beaches or stony shores. In Java it spawns in groups of up to 5 on sand, just above sea level. On land it moves very slowly, but in water it swims fast. It is the only source of turtle scutes, used to make the turtle shell, a helmet that lets you breathe longer underwater.

Every turtle remembers the block where it spawned as its home, and returns there to lay eggs no matter how far away it is. To breed, feed seagrass to two turtles: one becomes pregnant, which you can tell because it stands slightly taller, travels back to its beach and lays 1 to 4 eggs there. Move the eggs with Silk Touch before they hatch and the babies will treat the new spot as home.

Eggs only hatch on sand, cracking a little at a time until they break on the third crack. They need protecting, because zombies and their variants trample them on purpose. When a baby grows into an adult it drops a turtle scute, so breeding turtles is how you get the shell.

It cannot be leashed, but it follows you if you hold seagrass within 10 blocks, and it can be put in boats and minecarts. It cannot drown, and Impaling affects it in Java. A lightning strike kills it instantly. On death it gives 1 to 3 experience, and babies drop nothing.
