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 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-

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*

Snails now have proper scaling due to the new scale feature. They no longer take up 2 blocks of height.

Snail buckets also now work from the offhand

1.3.2*

Snail nests can now be pushed by pistons

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-

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+

Snail nests can now be silk-touched

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
