How to Farm Nautilus Shells

Locating Nautilus Creatures

Nautilus spawn in ocean biomes. Search deeper ocean waters and explore underwater caves—they're passive creatures that won't attack you.

Collecting Shell Fragments

When you defeat or kill a Nautilus, it drops shell fragments. Collect multiple fragments as you'll need several to craft a complete nautilus shell. Gather fragments from multiple Nautilus until you have enough for your crafting needs.

Crafting Nautilus Shells

Once you have shell fragments, take them to a crafting table. Arrange the fragments according to the nautilus shell recipe to combine them into a complete shell. The exact arrangement follows a specific pattern—refer to your crafting menu for the precise layout.

Uses

Nautilus shells are valuable for decoration and can be used in various crafting recipes. Farming them near your base by creating an ocean farm area can provide a steady supply for building projects or trades.
