Want to know how to breed Turtles in Minecraft? Over the years of Minecraft’s existence, developers have added many animals and mobs with unique properties, and Turtles are one of them. These cute slow creatures do not dangerous to the player and will run away if you hit them. But you have no reason to kill them. The only benefit of Turtles for the player is the Scutes you can get during the growing up of these animals. But the breeding process for Turtles is different from other animals in Minecraft, so we are here to help you.
Where To Find Turtles in Minecraft
First, as with any other animal, you must find two Turtles. These cute and funny creatures inhabit almost all sandy beaches in Minecraft except mountainous and cold biomes. In addition, they can swim in the water close to the beach. So finding a couple of Turtles is not a problem.
Breeding Turtles in Minecraft
Once you have found two adult Turtles, to breed them in Minecraft, you must feed them Sea Grass. By the way, you can hold Sea Grass in your hand for the Turtles to follow you. Feeding them, Turtles will approach each other, and you will see the hearts above their heads. But instead of an appearing baby, one of the Turtles will start to crawl into the water and swim away somewhere. Although sometimes it can stay on the beach.
As the Turtle swims away, it imitates the habits of its real-life counterpart, which annually returns to the beach where they were born to lay its eggs. You should follow this Turtle and wait until it lays eggs. Often the Turtle lays 1-4 eggs, so these are more babies than other animals. You must wait 4-5 in-game days for the eggs to hatch. You can also bring the eggs home by breaking them with an item with the Silk Touch enchantment. If you choose to wait at home for hatching, here are a few rules you should know:
- First, the eggs must lie on the sand and above sea level.
- You must wait 4-5 in-game days before the baby Turtles hatch.
- It takes 20 minutes for baby Turtles to grow up, after which you will receive a Scute.
- You can speed up the maturation of the Turtle by 10% by feeding it Sea Grass.
- If the Turtle hatched on sand blocks in your house, this place will be its future place to lay eggs.
