Farming Turtles for Scutes

Creating a Turtle Scute Farm

Turtles now reliably drop turtle scutes when killed, making them a farmable source of this material used in crafting.

Steps:

1. Find a beach biome where turtles spawn naturally

2. Build an enclosed pen or grinder near the beach to contain turtles

3. Use a killing mechanism to dispatch turtles and collect scutes

4. Route drops through hoppers into storage chests

Farm Design Tips

Turtles are slow-moving, so they're easy to contain with simple walls. A fall-damage grinder works well since turtles don't require specific conditions to drop items. Place your collection system at ground level to catch all drops.

Turtle scutes are useful for crafting turtle shells and other items. A small farm can provide a steady supply without much maintenance. Consider lighting the area to prevent other mobs from spawning and interfering with your collection.
