3 snails hanging out in a swamp

Groups of snails naturally spawn in swamps. They can’t handle saltwater, so the swamp is perfect!

Snails are an adorable, portable slime farm that spawn in swamps. When fed beetroot, they have a 1% chance per second to spawn slime, lasting for 20 minutes. When fed heartbeets, this chance increases to 5%.

You can also breed two snails together using beetroot soup. Then, wait for the pregnant snail to lay its eggs into a clay block beneath it. Then after about 30 minutes, more snails hatch from the block along with lots of clay and slime.

There are six total variants of snail: Yellow, brown, black, cyan, spiral, and the final secret variant.

To find that variant, you’ll have to take a snail nest using silk touch and go do some soul-searching in the nether…

History

1.6.2*

Baby Snail Models

Baby snails now have unique models to match all the other baby models introduced in Tiny Takeover.

1.5.4-

Sprouters and snails can no longer be leashed

  • This stopped being technically feasible and became incredibly buggy
1.3.6-

River Snail Spawning

Snails no longer spawn in river biomes

1.3.4Release+

The new scaling changes enabled us to add baby snails! They’re absolutely adorable.

Release*

Snail buckets also now work from the offhand

1.3.2*

Snail Nest

1.3.0*

Snail nest hatch time has been halved.

Blue snails also no longer hatch from snail nests in soul sand valleys.

1.1.0Beta 5*

You can now feed snails heartbeets (an item added last beta)

This causes them to increase their mucus production by 2.5 times the amount that a normal beet would cause

Beta 5-

Snail Mucus Drops

Snails no longer drop snail mucus on death (to discourage simply killing snails for their byproduct)

Beta 4*

Brown snails are now a lot less common

  • Down to 25% from 50%

Black snails and brown snails are now the same rarity

  • 50% to choose “default” snails (black, brown), and a 50% chance for either within that category

Yellow, spiral, and blue snails make up the other 50% of snails

Skull snails now spawn 100% of the time in soul sand valleys, rather than 33% of the time

Snail health has been increased from 6 to 16

1.0.1*

You can no longer place snails in water, lava, or powdered snow

1.0.0Release+

Release*

Snails now take damage in only salt water instead of any hot biome

  • They also can’t be placed with snail buckets directly into salt water anymore
0.5.1+

Snail Colors & Breeding

Snails can now be bred with beetroot soup

  • After they mate, one snail becomes pregnant. Once placed onto a clay block, said snail will create a “snail nest” block.
  • Snail nests hatch after about 30 minutes, dropping plenty of clay, snail mucus, and 1-2 snails.

Snails now have six different variants

  • The first five are; Brown, Black, Spiral, Light Blue, Yellow
  • The last one only spawns in a secret place you’ll have to find :)
0.5.0Beta 8+

Snail Beetroot Healing

Feeding a snail beetroot will now give it regeneration for a small amount of time

Beta 7+

Snail Additions

Snail Spawning & Spawn Egg

  • Snails will now naturally spawn in swamps, swamp hills, and rivers
  • They also have a spawn egg item that can be obtained via peculiar berries

Snail Subtitles

  • They’re snaily, there’s not much to this feature

Allowed snails in buckets to be placed on more surfaces (and inside cauldrons!)

Beta 6+

Snail Additions

Snail Sounds

  • Snails will no longer use slime sounds
  • Very snaily, 11/10
  • Thanks, Elli!

Snail Beetroot Boosting

  • You can now feed beetroot to snails to give their mucus production a bit of a boost
  • The boost doubles their output for three minutes per beetroot you feed them
  • Beetroot is no longer worthless! Yay!

Snail Damage

  • Snails will now take damage in salty or dry areas
  • Salty areas means blocks filled with water in ocean biomes, since those would naturally have salt
  • Dry areas include deserts, mesas, savannas, etc.

New Snail Bucket Texture

  • Very silly and adorable
Beta 5+

They’re snaily!

Very very slow

Do not spawn naturally yet. Use /function tcc:commands/summon/snail

Randomly create snail mucus, (see Beta 3), a slime equivalent, with greater spawn rates at night

Can be bucketed!

  • Simply click on a snail with a single bucket in your mainhand
  • Snails in buckets will maintain all data of the snail you pick up, whether it be potion effects or current amount of health

Are somewhat incomplete. More behaviors to come in the future.
