FAQ
How do I pick up a Turtle Egg without breaking it?
Mine it with any tool enchanted with Silk Touch; otherwise it breaks and drops nothing.
How long does a Turtle Egg take to hatch?
It cracks three times before hatching, roughly 4-5 nights on average, and cracks much faster at night than during the day.
What breaks a Turtle Egg accidentally?
Walking on it (except as a baby turtle or with Feather Falling-suitable care), most mobs stepping on it, or any non-Silk-Touch mining will destroy it.
Do Turtle Eggs need sand to hatch?
Yes, they must be placed on sand, red sand, or suspicious sand to survive and eventually hatch into baby turtles.
