Turtle Shell
minecraft:turtle_helmetThe Turtle Shell is a helmet crafted from five turtle scutes, offering 2 armor points with 0 toughness and 275 durability — tougher than golden, copper, iron, and chainmail helmets despite equal protection. Wearing it grants ten seconds of water breathing on entering water, an effect that refills almost instantly with brief trips to the surface. It accepts standard helmet enchantments like Respiration, Aqua Affinity, and Protection, can be repaired with turtle scutes at an anvil, and doubles as a brewing ingredient for the Potion of the Turtle Master.
