rushable Turtles is a small quality-of-life mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 (Fabric) that extends the brush tool’s functionality to turtles.
\nWhat it does: When you right-click a turtle while holding a brush, the turtle drops a turtle scute \u2014 similar to how brushing an armadillo drops an armadillo scute. Each brush action consumes 8 durability points (half of what brushing an armadillo costs), making the brush last twice as long when grooming turtles. The brushing animation and sound effect play just like the vanilla brushing experience.
\nHow it works: The mod uses two Mixins injected into the vanilla game. One intercepts the Item.useOnEntity method to detect when a player uses a brush on a turtle, triggering the drop logic and damage. The other provides access to the entity’s world instance. No new items, blocks, or entities are added. No configuration is needed \u2014 it works out of the box.
\nWhat it doesn’t do: It does not affect suspicious blocks, armadillos, or any other vanilla brushing behavior. It does not change turtle AI, spawning, or breeding. It does not modify any existing loot tables. It is purely additive \u2014 simply brushing a turtle now yields scutes, just like brushing an armadillo yields armadillo scutes.
\nCompatibility: Requires Fabric API. Safe to add to existing worlds. Works on both client and server .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
