What it does

The mod brings new things built around turtles into the game. Turtle Jelly is a food item, and Turtle Scute Armor and Turtle Scute Tool extend the scute materials into equipment and tools. Its primary category is Food, with secondary tags for decoration, equipment and cursed content.

Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. Builds are published for Fabric only, across the 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2 game versions, with 1.3.3 for 26.2 as the latest file released on 2026-08-02. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source repository and issue tracker are public.
