more turtles
by tombkingsts
More Turtles adds five new turtle variants, each with its own spawn area, drops and crafted gear, to the game.
What it does
Each new turtle type spawns in a different place: oceans and rivers, the Nether, or the End. Their drops differ by type, covering bone, bone blocks, coal, chorus fruit, carrots, iron ingots and wither bones. Zombie turtles can convert regular turtles when they attack them.
Scutes from the new turtles are used in crafting, along with the drops, to make shell armor pieces: an ender shell box, a wither shell, lava boots, a boneshell body and zombie shell leggings. Worn armor can open a chest that holds only arrows, and the boots create the frost walker effect over lava. Shell boxes store nine stacks each. Scutes can also be used to brew potions. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge and is needed on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for 1.14.4 – 1.20.6 and the files on NeoForge target 1.20.6 with the 2.1.0 release as the latest file.
Key features
Five new turtle types
Each turtle variant has its own spawn location and drop table, so the new types are distinct to find.
Shell armor pieces
Crafted shell pieces include an ender box, a wither shell, lava boots, a boneshell body and zombie leggings.
Wither and fire protection
The wither shell protects against the wither effect, and burning ends when armor is worn.
Potion brewing with scutes
Scutes from the turtles can be used as an ingredient to brew potions.
Master effects
Ender, lava, wither and zombie master items each carry a potion-like effect, such as teleporting when hurt in water or summoning an iron golem.
