How to Breed Turtles in Minecraft

To breed a turtle, you’re going to need some shears. Once you have some shears go into the water and look for some seagrass. Mine the seagrass with the shears and you’ll be able to collect it.

Now that you have the seagrass, go to two turtles and feed them and the turtles will enter love mode. After love mode is complete, one of the turtles will be a bit large and have eggs. Follow the bigger turtle because it’ll swim back to the spot where it originally spawned.

Once it goes there, it’ll lay a few eggs. You can safely mine the eggs using the Silk Touch enchantment. If you don’t have that enchantment, you’ll just break the egg. You’ll need to wait four to five days in-game for the eggs to hatch.

While you wait make sure you build a secure animal farm for the baby turtles, because a lot of mobs will try to kill them when they’re babies.
