Turtle Scutes Fall Off│龜甲脫落

Name: Turtle Scutes Fall Off│龜甲脫落
Author: Special_TT

Turtle Scutes Fall Off makes turtles and baby turtles drop Turtle Scales over time, a datapack-style change that runs on the server.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.9 – 1.21.11

What it does

Turtles occasionally drop Turtle Scutes once they grow into adults. Adult turtles also drop Turtle Scales on a timer of roughly 10 to 15 minutes, while baby turtles drop them every 3 to 5 minutes. Shedding a scale resets the countdown that tracks when a baby turtle grows up.

The server must run the mod, while players may add it to their own installs, so it works on the server alone or with clients that also have it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, as well as a data pack. Files target 1.21.9 – 1.21.11, and the latest file is for 1.21.11 on every loader.

Key features

Occasional Turtle Scutes
Turtles occasionally drop Turtle Scutes after they grow into adults, adding a steady source of the item.
Timed Turtle Scales from adults
Adult turtles drop Turtle Scales about every 10 to 15 minutes.
Faster scales from babies
Baby turtles drop Turtle Scales about every 3 to 5 minutes, so young turtles give scales sooner than adults.
Growth countdown reset
A baby turtle's grow-up countdown resets when it sheds a Turtle Scale.
