Incubating Turtle Eggs in the Incubation Mod
Storing Turtle Eggs
Turtle eggs are handled differently from chicken eggs. The mod provides a Crate of Turtle Eggs, which is a block used to store turtle eggs in bulk. Place the crate where you want to keep your turtle egg supply.
Unlike chicken, duck, and turkey eggs, there is no turtle-specific hay or twig nest in this mod. The nest blocks available are:
- Hay Nest, Hay Chicken Nest, Hay Duck Nest, Hay Turkey Nest
- Twig Nest, Twig Chicken Nest, Twig Duck Nest, Twig Turkey Nest
Use a plain Hay Nest or Twig Nest as the general-purpose nest for turtle eggs.
Setting Up Incubation
1. Craft or place a Crate of Turtle Eggs to hold your supply.
2. Place a plain Hay Nest or Twig Nest where you want the egg to incubate.
3. Move a turtle egg from the crate onto the nest.
4. Leave the nest undisturbed so the egg can incubate.
Because there is no turtle-specific nest block, the plain nest is your only nest option for turtles. Do not use a chicken, duck, or turkey nest for turtle eggs — those are matched to their own birds.
Practical Notes
- Keep turtle eggs in the Crate of Turtle Eggs until you are ready to incubate.
- Use one plain nest per turtle egg.
- Place nests on solid ground near water if you want hatchlings to reach it quickly.
- If you run out of plain nests, craft more Hay Nest or Twig Nest blocks rather than substituting a bird-specific nest.
