Solving Nautilus Dilemas: Riding the Nautilus

The nautilus riding seems a little odd currently.

I propose a solution:

The nautilus being on the bottom is a little odd. Prehaps the saddle could be put on the bottom while the player holds the bottom and rests on the bottom of them.

The nautilus needs to have some disadvantages to keep value of enchantments dealing with water, and to balance the nautilus compared to the turtle shell and the conduit. Part of this is hanging on the bottom making the player eyesight upside down.

I propose that dual wielding should be disabled. This would make doing some things a little more difficult (mostly for java players, who dual wield), but also makes sense if the player hangs on the saddle by one hand in the animation.

Another disadvantage could be the nautilus may be startled once in awhile and will dart away, dismounting from the player than drifting back toward the player. This makes sense to how they behave in the real world.

To finish off, some people will find riding a nautilus questionable. But making both players and drowned (riding on zombie nautilus) seem more natural and balancing it better between other features would be helpful.

    we do NOT need to make a useful mob and nerf it into the ground, underwater builds are already medival torture to build so why are you saying the ONE MOB that is made to make this easier should be turned into another niche mob. the worst part is the fact you can be randomly dismounted with no way to tell when it will happen, alongside that are upside down vision (why?) making you ride the bottom (you are WAY to easy to get trident-sniped) and dual weilding will make it so every time you use it you have to take off your totem or shield and can't dual weild build on java which would make sponging any wet areas easier.

    Than prehaps players lay down on the nautilus and holds on by one hand. Disabling the offhand.

    The nautilus could dart away randomly when attacked by drowned. Without dismounting players unless the player is damaged by a spear.
