An example of a turtle farm as described in this tutorial.
Minecraft sea turtle eggs. Using an egg on a horizontal surface places a single egg and using an egg on an existing egg cluster of size 4 adds that egg to the cluster. A turtle can walk on the eggs without breaking them. They can hatch to produce additional turtles. Turtle eggs spawn in clusters or nests along shorelines.
They are destroyed one at a time decreasing the cluster size. Eggs can be placed on any block in clusters of up to 4 although they must be placed on sand or red sand to hatch. After a sea turtle lays its eggs players will be able breed the sea turtle again. After breeding a turtle will lay eggs in the sand.
A turtle farm turtle shell farm or scute farm is a means of breeding turtles to harvest scutes which are used to craft a turtle helmet. You can also place eggs yourself if you have collected any using a silk touch pickaxe. In this tutorial we have built a wall of sand around our turtles to keep them nearby. They are the third eggs added overall.
After a few minutes the eggs will emit a cracking sound and hatch into baby turtles. If broken without the enchantment pushed by a piston a gravity affected block falls into its space or a player or item falls onto it from a higher block the egg breaks without dropping anything. All types of zombies except for zombie horses will trample and destroy sea turtle eggs. First you need to find turtle eggs.
Eggs can be destroyed by jumping on them hitting them walking over them or dropping items on them. Turtle eggs are laid by turtles on the beaches of various ocean biomes. The amount of time it takes for the eggs to hatch is completely random but it often takes a while. Using turtle shells players can craft the turtle master potion which grants resistance iv and slowness iv.
Sea turtles unlike other passive mobs except fish are water friendly. These eggs can be found in various sizes and are covered in green spots. Each cluster can have up to 4 eggs. Once the turtle is done digging it will lay different sizes of turtle eggs on the ground.
Also a turtle helmet can. Once placed turtle eggs will slowly hatch into baby turtles. They are also the second to produce baby mobs after normal eggs. Unlike other animals turtles have a very different breeding cooldown.
These eggs will hatch into baby turtles. Turtle eggs can be obtained in the inventory using tools with the silk touch enchantment. Now you will have two adult turtles and a nest of turtle eggs or clutch of turtle eggs. Sea turtle eggs are the second placeable eggs added to minecraft after the dragon egg.
