Turtle shells now give you 30 seconds of water breathing when equipped, rather than 10. Hopefully this makes it a bit of a better investment for your time.

History

1.5.4Changed

Turtle scute items no longer last 20 minutes before despawn

  • This was not worth the performance hit it gave, and was weird with droppers/dispensers spawning the item
  • Just farm your turtles on top of hoppers
