Required To Breed Turtles

- 2 Turtles
Steps To Breed Turtles
1. Find Two Turtles To Breed
We first need to find two turtles to start the breeding process. You can usually find turtles on or near beaches. If you’re still having trouble finding one, you can summon a turtle with a trick or use a spawn egg.
2. Feed The Turtles Seagrass
We first need to find two turtles to begin the breeding process. You can usually find turtles on or near beaches. Then, with the turtles close to each other, we simply need to feed each turtle seagrass. Select the seagrass in your quick access bar and feed each turtle separately using the following in-game controls:
- Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition – Right click on the turtle.
- Pocket Edition (PE): Tap the turtle.
- Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press the LT button.
- PS3, PS4: Press the L2 button.
- Wii U, Nintendo Switch: Press the ZL Button
After feeding seagrass to the turtles, you will see red hearts appear. This means that the turtles enter love model.
Once the red hearts disappear, the pregnant turtle (which looks a bit fatter than the others) goes to its home beach and lays eggs. Keep this in mind as the turtle may need to swim to its home beach before laying eggs
Once at its home beach, the turtle burrows into a block of sand for a few seconds before laying up to 4 eggs. The eggs go through three stages, each of which takes a random amount of time before hatching and developing into baby turtles.
And that’s how you breed sea turtles in Minecraft!
FAQ’s
