Jellyfish

Jellyfish could live in all lukewarm, warm and deep ocean biomes in groups with numbers in-between 10 and 50 individuals. They will attract turtles, who eat them. The bell of the jellyfish should be the size of a slab, but with an open bottom where tentacles should hang out for another metre (meaning the jellyfish would be 1.5m tall and 1m wide). Players should be able to stand on the bell and move along with the jellyfish, but if swimming through the tentacles, the player (and any other mob other than turtles) should get either nausea or poison effect and the tentacles should move in a similar way to seagrass. The mob should move at a slow pace, no more than one block every 2 seconds. Drops should be tentacles, which are a cheaper way to create a potion of poison and an ingredient in suspicious stew. Turtles, players wearing a turtle shell and a player with the 'Potion of the Turtle Master' effect should be immune to jellyfish tentacles. These mobs would make the oceans of Minecraft more of a challenge and would be a great obstacle.

    Mojang doesn’t want to give a real life creature a bad reputation, so I feel like poison is a good move since poison doesn’t kill, but they should also highlight that jellyfish are dangerous so maybe make a more fictional variant possibly with black dots for eyes showing it’s fictional, that does kill by paralyzing until they die along with giving the player and poisoning with poison II them, letting them drown since some jellyfish in real life induce shock after a sting. Speaking of variants, I feel like there should be different types of jellyfish, small ones like the moon jelly, and big ones like lion’s mane are the mostly harmless; the sun jellies are the turtles favorite and the sea nettles has poison I , and fictional one is the only that kills. Also maybe you can tame (sort of) a turtle with the tentacles, making them only stay in a 96 block area in the surrounding ocean. The tentacles should also give poison for 10 or 5 minutes to a day (Minecraft day) and deal 2 health (1 heart) but wearing a turtle shell would make you immune so would the ‘Potion of the Turtle Master’ Additionally, I think you shouldn’t be able to craft suspicious stew, since it’s exclusive to flowers, but the potion makes sense.
