How to make a Turtle Scute in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a turtle scute with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a turtle scute is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game. A turtle scute is a piece of the turtle's shell that is left behind when the turtle grows up.

How to get a Turtle Scute in Survival Mode

You can add a turtle scute to your inventory in Survival mode by waiting for a baby turtle to grow into an adult and then gathering the turtle scute.

1. Find a Baby Turtle

First, you need a baby turtle in your Minecraft world. The most common way to get a baby turtle is to breed turtles at their home beach.

Turtles can usually be found in the Beach biome.

2. Feed the Baby Turtle some Seagrass

If you want to speed up how fast the baby turtle grows into an adult, you can feed it seagrass.

As you feed the baby turtle seagrass, you will see green particles around it. This means that it is growing older. Continue to feed the baby turtle until it becomes an adult.

3. Pick up the Turtle Scute

Once the baby turtle has eaten enough (or enough time has elapsed), the baby turtle will grow to the size of an adult and drop a turtle scute.

Make sure you pick up the turtle scute before it disappears.
