Therefore, to get them either payers need to be lucky enough to spawn near a beach where baby turtles have hatched and grow up, dropping the Scute in the process. But this is very rare and players should not depend upon this.

The easiest and most consistent way of getting it, is by trapping Turtles inside a fence with a water body and breeding them. This will make them lay eggs, which will hatch into baby turtles. The Baby Turtles will drop the Scute when transforming into an Adult.

Turtles are one of the many mobs present in Minecraft. Baby turtles drop Scutes when they grow into adults. You can use these Scutes to then craft turtle shells, which is an important step in the process of crafting the Turtle Master potion. Turtle shells also enable you to breathe longer when underwater. In today’s article, we’ll explore everything about Scutes and their many wonderful uses

Where can you find a Turtle?

Turtles are very common sights among the beach biomes of Minecraft and can be found making their way into the water, or they can be found swimming in the water too. You can lure the turtles towards you by carrying seaweed (check the points below)

  • Scutes can be acquired when they are dropped by baby turtles as they turn into adults.
  • To acquire these scutes, you can either wait for the baby turtles to grow into adults (a process that can take up to 20 minutes in real-time or an entire day in the Minecraft world) or speed up the process by feeding the baby turtles some seagrass.
  • Seagrass can be found underwater in both short as well as tall forms very easily all over the game.
  • Feeding baby turtles seagrass can help quicken their growth process.
  • Adult turtles will then drop one scute which can be collected and placed in your inventory.

Now that you’ve found turtles and acquired scutes, we can discuss the many uses that scutes offer in Minecraft:

You can use scutes to craft turtle shells. Turtle shells enable you to breathe for longer periods when underwater without using oxygen.
Turtle shells can be crafted using five scutes in the crafting menu. The turtle shell needs to be placed in the helmet to activate it.

You can also use turtle shells to create the Master Turtle Potion. To do this, you need to fix the turtle shell with an awkward potion. The potion is equipped with slowness of four and resistance of three.
