Is The Turtle Shell Helmet Worth It? ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide S3 ▫ Tutorial Let's Play [Ep.77]

[@Yue_mariin00]

14:28 The baby turtles opening and closing their tiny little mouths😭💚💚 so cuteee!

[@Q_theMisanthrope]

Combining them after one starts cracking and covering them with a block is very clever. I always thought they needed direct sky over them

[@10_points]

Same

[@Snowstorm174]

Without watching the video yet, I have an opinion on the turtle shell helmet! As someone who enjoys underwater caving and has had several semi-submerged bases, I find it very useful, especially when combined with Respiration and Aqua Affinity, and use it pretty much all the time. However, for people with different playstyles, it is probably much less useful- it would likely be detrimental for PvPers and such.

[@volehunter]

Allays are put to good use collecting scutes. They will happily wait for the turtles to grow up and then collect for you.

[@catsdogswoof3968]

Oh yes

[@madelynscorner]

I'm sad I didn't think of this I could've been building instead of sitting on a beach for an hour

[@TheRealWormbo]

Bringing sand when breeding turtles doesn't really help, because turtles will always only attempt to lay their eggs where they originally spawned or hatched, independently of whether that's a beach. If you "adopt" a pair of turtles and take them elsewhere, they will likely not lay any eggs there. As for the hatching progression: It is based on the same kind of random ticks as crop growth or copper aging. The eggs will only progress if they are placed on a sand block (regular or red or suspicious), but they can progress on every random tick. However, except for a brief period of time near the end of the night (3:36 to 4:33 in Minecraft's in-game daytime equivalent) only 1 in 500 random ticks advances the hatching stage. (Random ticks hit any particular block about every 68 seconds). Guardians only attack squid, players and axolotls. Turtles are safe from them. The babies are not really safe on a beach, though: Aside from zombies who want to trample the eggs, baby turtles are also attacked by all variants of zombies, skeletons, and cats, ocelots, foxes, and untamed wolves.

[@lucas.2.3.9.4]

if you create a man-made beach and place some silktouched eggs there the hatched turtles will lay there eggs on that spot

[@OrigamiMarie]

Yes, this. I think that first turtle might have just been distracted by the seagrass he was holding. Also, you don't have to wait contiguous nights for the hatching. You can sleep every few nights to keep the phantoms away, and you'll just delay them by a single night, and they'll start back up the next (now phantom-free) night. Also, if you want to start a new turtle colony, you can pick up the eggs and place them somewhere else to hatch.

[@neetscholar4149]

2 Things worth clarifying about the Turtle Shell Helmet. 1) In terms of armor value, they are the exact same as Iron Helmets. But in terms of durability, they are worth roughly double. Doesn't make much difference after giving them Unbreaking and mending, but if you still don't have access to those, it is something to consider. 2) You glanced over the fact that it only takes one tick of oxygen access to refresh the Water Breathing effect, but I think you didn't stressed enough how useful this is. Having Water Breathing allows you to replenish your oxygen bar despite being underwater. This effect goes mostly unnoticed when using a Water Breathing potion. If you are underwater almost running out of air and pop a potion, people will only notice that they won't need to go out of the water to breathe for 3 minutes (8 for extended) and only consider the air bar refilling as a negligible bonus. But the 10 seconds you get from the Helmet is a totally undervalued game-changer. It's not just that a non-respiration helmet will go from giving you 15 to 25 seconds underwater. Or that a Respiration 3 helmet will go from 60 to 70 seconds. It is also the fact that with it, every time you need to get out of the water to breathe, you only need to pop your head out of the water for 1 tick instead of having to wait for a few seconds. When working underwater a lot, this ends up being a huge game changer. I would compare not having it Vs having the Turtle Shell Helmet when working underwater to the impact eating Berries vs eating Steak have on hunger, and how much time you waste eating food.

[@Pixlriffs]

The durability note is a great one! The water breathing effect would be way better if it wasn't trivial to brew water breathing potions or set up a conduit in a default survival world.

[@Timelord79]

So wait… does that mean, if I create an air pocket under water repeatedly, however briefly I can stay underwater indefinitely? Does an empty bucket create a split second air bubble ? Or a placed torch?

[@neetscholar4149]

@@Timelord79 To be honest, I haven't tried. But on paper, yeah that should work.

[@vee24]

@@Timelord79 It does for sure, on top of that if you spam bucket/torch quickly enough then you can straight up restore air bubbles.

[@catsdogswoof3968]

It could matter in extreme combat

[@cassidionline2002]

There should be an entire set of turtle armor.

[@joechisten7176]

And each piece would increase the duration of water breathing

[@catsdogswoof3968]

Idk

[@aaryananand7288]

When you were talking about the 'Shelmet', I remembered something super cool about it. when you give the shelmet to someone else, but keep the shell, the other person who you gave it to will have something called an 'Accelgor'. Isn't that cool!?

[@crylemite]

It only works when the other person gives you something specific too.

[@lucianochiaverini323]

What a karrblast! Ima have to try this out🙃

[@El_Presidente_5337]

I am slowly convinced that Pixlriffs is paid by the tea industry.

[@ReelosHericon]

Of Cause he is, he is british

[@paulburdon7397]

Yup, tea is great 😁

[@Moss_guy]

Fun fact: when killed by lightning, turtles drop bowls

[@catsdogswoof3968]

Turtles are more fleshed out than the real mobs

[@TLD48]

Turtles are some of my favorite animals IRL, so I really enjoyed this video! It always makes my heart happy to see baby turtles whether in pixel form or any other!❤

[@sharkdentures3247]

"No turtle scute boots for you!" LOL Though I have to admit, the idea of a Turtle Shell Armor set DOES sound rather interesting.

[@cj_rvwilliams6814]

Turtle helmets are oft maligned but for builders they can be quite fun! With some armor stand and piston trickery you can position them so they are sticking up through some tilled soil, and make cabbage patches that way!

[@SloyXP]

That is kind of brilliant, though the effort to output in survival here is insane XD

[@catsdogswoof3968]

Wow

[@_Abjuranax_]

I still have my fully enchanted 1.14.2 God-Tier turtle helmet, and it is pretty worthless pretty worthless compared to other armors. But the perfect set of armor imo would be a turtle helmet, an elytra, gold bartering pants, and leather snow boots, lol.

[@Yue_mariin00]

11:31 AAAA THE BABY TURTLES SO CUTEEE😭🥺💚

[@another_jt]

Well, I know going in that the answer to the title question is "Yes" as I am a devoted turtle shell wearer, but I can't wait to see why.

[@timothylivingston4135]

Use the force, Pixlriffs.

[@Spectervamp1]

Up until a few minor releases ago there was a bug where turtles had no breeding cooldown whatsoever. You could get a lot of turtle eggs very quickly by simply spamming them with sea grass and waiting for them to lay the eggs

[@slippinjimmy527]

This is one of the greatest minecraft series ever created love you

[@carmenwiste1646]

This helmet was one of the first things I crafted when I first started playing because I didn’t know how to breathe under water without it.

[@epockismet76]

Being new to the game, and not really doing any tricks to speed the way to end game, I have spent a LOT of time with the turtle helm as my main helmet 🤪👍

[@mycroft3322]

Poor pix initially forgetting that frogs lay eggs too Fun and informative episode tho!

[@catsdogswoof3968]

Yea

[@DoomWalker42]

On servers the Shelmet is often used to resemble Turtle Gang: A fan made community against gatekeeping mechanics and play styles or build styles in Minecraft. It's meant to be welcoming and inclusive of everyone no matter who they are or where they are from or their various life styles, etc. We all enjoy playing Minecraft and making friends so Turtle Gang is a great way to encompass and demonstrate that. Even if it might not be as powerful as a fully enchanted Netherite helmet.

[@CM.25]

7:25 Hey Pix, are you leaving the 'blooper' parts in the videos on purpose? i wonder if these are just unexpected events and mishaps that occur in the survival guide, or they're deliberate lmao

[@RedSntDK]

I certainly try to get them early on as they help building water elevators, but it comes down to finding a silk touch tool early on. If you're lucky, you'll find a silk touch hoe or other tool in a ruined nether portal chest, so that's what I try and find early on - silk touch tool also helps get bees early on, but at least you can just kidnap bees, a lot harder with turtles as they insist on laying eggs where they spawned.

[@mugendub]

"No turtle scute boots for you" 😂

[@Pixlriffs]

No boot-scootin' boogie!

[@mugendub]

@Pixlriffs I'm not usually a country fan but that was a fun listen thanks! Have found quite a bit of music from your videos. & thanks for all the content & useful minceraft tips!

[@nifft.3115]

Here I thought I knew all I needed to in Minecraft, yet you prove this old timer wrong again! Thanks for the tips on turtle egg hatching and care, along with the potion difference from beacons & golden apples!

[@lucianochiaverini323]

Best trim on the shellmet has to be the spire, gives you that TMNT Look 😎

[@Xolarflare]

All egg laying mobs in minecraft, chickens, turtles, frogs, and sniffers

[@nmgg6928]

I have a stupid amount of minecraft knowledge and trivia stored in my goofy gamer brain but I did not know you could trim the turtle shell helmet. Thanks again Pix for adding to my internal encyclopedia lol 😊

[@MisterUnconcerned]

Thanks for explaining the hatching mechanics, that I didn't know. Other than eggs for my gold farm, I had no use for turtles. Until the Allay. Wound up making a nice enclosure to create a Scute farm just for fun. Granted, you have to breed and eventually kill off turtles, but the collection system is flawless, and Allay are an amazing visual addition to farming. They also work in my Sniffer farm, and wheat farm for mud blocks.

[@joeldamole]

Probably the fastest I've ever caught one of your videos

[@lckittyqueen]

the how did we get here advancement, when done legit, is the most epic experience ever

[@TheeSlickShady_Dave_K]

I’ve never heard of a Shelmet But from this day forth, I shall call it so ❤

[@tito_me_doe676]

Always remember to like, comment, and subscribe!

[@plainsarahjane1466]

If there were boots that could be made like the turtle helmet you could call them.... Boot Scute-in' Booties........

[@Cxrm3n]

i never knew baby turtles could be so small 😭 they're tiny

[@mikies3432]

you can reset the phantom timer of 3 days by just laying down in a bed. you do not have to skip the night.

[@Green_Lightning1]

The dunkey is spinning like a helicopter 🚁 😂

[@BeansOfStarlight]

Fun fact about the turtle mob! If you strike it with lightning, the turtle can drop a wooden bowl 😂

[@JaredMerlin]

Thank you! I was running out of seagrass. Whew!

[@joshuastanaway1691]

Could you do jungle mobs soon? Pandas, parrots, and ocelot

[@mziv112]

quick question about the shelmet: when you take it off and put it on again underwater, does it refresh the 10 seconds of water breathing? if so, the effect is basically infinite.

[@lonewolf31337]

Now this is awesome to take up to before work lol. Great videos

[@mistwraithstormblessed1529]

Man I wish their was a nametag easter egg to keep animals small. Especially turtles and axolotls.

[@NightmareRex6]

i dont think they just find a sand block, they find the sand block they are tied too and if want to move them far enugh need to silk touch the eggs.

[@mscobee1]

No turtle scute boots for you! Epic!!

[@DovonMac1]

The potion of the turtle master should be 5 minutes and ten with redstone considering the ba you have to go through

[@ginafinnemann6656]

04:05 ish: frogs also lay eggs, i guess

[@alisavogt2892]

Another great video!!

[@cecerats]

i forgot how tiny the baby turtles are lol. they're minuscule

[@targetdreamer257]

Do turtles attach to a beach when the eggs are LAYED or when they HATCH?

[@gregjorda3080]

There should be turtle armor voting below

[@Mongward]

I am slightly disappointed the game doesn't allow you to make a full-tort TMNT cosplay. I guess the head with trims must be enough :D

[@craigds3745]

A turtle "backplate" could be cool - underwater elytra. protection , swimming, water breathing, aqua affinity

[@SittenSpynne]

Weird editing hiccup at 7:28

[@lex_lifts]

Pixl such a vibe

[@zgilla]

I like turtles!

[@NightmareRex6]

thats what happened with my infinant world made turtles and now toomeany and have to kill them off.

[@verthandijal]

if we can say shelmet for shell helmet then we should be able to say hearticles for heart particles !!

[@Randa16-Kota17]

Wait so you’re telling me people don’t wear a turtle helmet?….interesting mhm

[@jamiehayes9626]

I am only referring to it as the shellmet from now on

[@aidancrassweller1069]

hey bro. have you almost finished the museum?

[@spritemon98]

Id say the turtle helmet is useful if your dealing with a lot of water

[@TheRealWormbo]

Definitely true. Back up until 1.12 you could refresh your oxygen underwater by placing a torch on a wall at head height. Nowadays you'd need to spam it to actually gain oxygen this way, but it still works for resetting the water breathing timer on the turtle helmet. However, once you gain access to conduits, the turtle helmet pretty much loses its advantages for working underwater. It might still have some uses for exploring underwater caves, but that's probably it.

[@spritemon98]

@@TheRealWormbo a conduit is only useful for the places you frequent a lot and not while your actively exploring ocean ruins for the new item's

[@chrisclark3555]

Does Dolphins grace not count as 1 of the affects

[@nathanielbeetner]

did anybody see the dolphin jumping in the backroun at 7:48

[@TenkoBerry]

This is Great 👍

[@austinrussell5577]

What about putting respiration on the turtle helmet?

[@Pixlriffs]

I did that shortly after enchanting it on the table. Added it with a book. It works just like respiration on any other helmet.
