Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Quicker way to harvest Turtle Scutes

Now that the Armadillo is out, it feels weird that turtle scutes can’t be harvest in a similar way as armadillo scutes can. Turtle Scutes are only used for the Turtle helmet, which is an excessively expensive ingredient to make turtle master potions compared to all other ingredients. Turtle scutes take an extremely long time to harvest, even with any automation, unlike all other potion ingredients and farmable items. Also, all automated turtle farms rely on baby turtles growing up, then dying immediately upon dropping their scute, which feels inhumane. On the other hand, armadillos naturally drop their scutes like chicken eggs, or you can brush them for 4 scutes per brush tool. Why can’t turtle scutes be similar?

    As you've mentioned the way in which players have to gather scutes is too tedious. It takes too much effort versus the reward given to be worth doing. I think that your suggested change would improve this tedium and encourage more players to interact with turtles overall.
