Turtle eggs are eggs that hatch into baby turtles.
Contents
Obtaining[edit]
Turtle eggs can be obtained in the inventory using tools with the Silk Touch enchantment. If broken without the enchantment, pushed by a piston, or if a gravity-affected block falls into its space, the egg will break without dropping anything.
Breeding turtles[edit]
When two turtles are bred with sea grass, one of them will burrow around in the sand and lay an egg block that contains 1-4 eggs after several seconds. The egg will go through several stages before hatching, and only hatches at night.
Usage[edit]
Turtle eggs can be placed similarly to normal solid blocks, and slowly hatch into turtles. Up to 4 turtle eggs can be placed onto 1 block.
If a player or large-enough mob, armor stand or falling block falls or stands on an egg for a certain amount of time, one egg will break on the block. Zombies, zombie villagers, husks, drowned and zombie pigmen will actively seek out and trample turtle eggs, breaking egg after egg on the block until all of them have been destroyed.
