How to Find and Use Tortoises in Sully's Mod

Spawning and Drops

Tortoises spawn from the Tortoise Spawn Egg. When a Tortoise is killed or drops its shell, you get a Tortoise Scute. Tortoises also lay a Tortoise Egg, which is a placeable block.

What Tortoise Scutes Are For

Tortoise Scutes are the key material for Tortoise Shell. Craft a Tortoise Shell from Tortoise Scutes at a crafting table. The Tortoise Shell is a wearable item used in crafting and equipment recipes.

Tortoise Egg

The Tortoise Egg block can be placed in the world. It functions as a nest block for Tortoise breeding and hatching. Keep it on a solid surface and protect it from mobs.

Practical Tips

Farm Tortoises by keeping a breeding pair near a Tortoise Egg. Collect Scutes regularly to stockpile for Tortoise Shell crafting. Because Tortoise Shell is used in equipment recipes, maintain a steady supply of Scutes rather than killing every Tortoise at once.
