Turtle eggs are dropped by the turtle mob. They’ve been around in-game since Minecraft version 1.13 and can be found on beaches in warm ocean biomes.
Some players use turtle eggs as decorations, while others collect them because hatchlings will allow their owners access to rare items like scutes. Scutes are crafted into turtle shells which are later used to brew the portion of the turtle master. The rare items can also be used to build better tools and armor sets.
Hatching turtle eggs in Minecraft usually takes a little over an hour in real-time. There are three different stages that baby turtles will go through while they grow to adulthood: eggs, moving baby turtles, and adult turtles.
The final stage is when the turtle has grown up and can be sheared for a record-breaking 10 pieces of leather of any color including red!
This article will therefore explain where to find and how to hatch turtle eggs in Minecraft.

Where and How to Obtain Turtle Eggs
Scouting beaches or sandbanks increases your chances of finding turtle eggs. They sometimes tend to spawn on top of small patches of dirt right next to the water’s edge. So be careful not to knock them over.
If finding an egg still poses a challenge, then your best bet is to summon it using the /summon commands.
Simply type in “/summon Turtle ~ ~1 ~ {Passengers:[{id:”cow”,CustomName:COW}]}”, replacing “cow” with whatever name you want for your turtle (such as “turtle”).
How Long Does It Take for Turtle Eggs to Hatch?
Turtles are a great addition to your Minecraft world, but they’re shy creatures that don’t like to be bothered by humans.
If you want to see a turtle hatch from its egg, there are a few things you should know first. How long does it take for turtle eggs to hatch?
The amount of time it takes for turtle eggs to hatch depends on several factors: the temperature of the sand, biome, and type of grass block in the sand biome.
If you want your turtles to come out as baby turtles (or “hatchlings”), one thing you need is patience! Turtle eggs take between 3 and 5 Minecraft days for them all to hatch.
Why Won’t My Turtle Eggs Hatch
If the eggs are not hatching, you have a few possible explanations.
- Did you place the eggs on sand blocks? If not, they won’t hatch. Turtle eggs can be placed on any block but only hatch on sand blocks.
- Did you make sure that your eggs are in the Overworld (not the Nether)? If so, and they still haven’t hatched, there’s one more thing to check.
- Do you have any torches or fencing around the incubator? Fencing is important because it deters other mobs (like the undead and spiders) from trampling or eating the eggs.
In fact, the best way to protect sea turtle eggs is by using fences, torches, or signs. This technique will prevent zombies and other mobs from coming near your turtles’ eggs. If you don’t have any fences or torches, then use lava instead!
Finally
Once you’ve got your first generation of turtles, you need to get them breeding. To achieve this, maintain a healthy environment for them. You also need to keep them well-fed because food is the first step toward a thriving turtle community.
Next, make sure that they have everything they need in terms of their living conditions. A place where they can bask in the sunlight and swim around without getting bored.
Finally, prepare a breeding tank by digging out some dirt from underground or from underwater if possible. This will be where your turtles will lay their eggs when it’s time for them to reproduce!
