Lying-on-the-stomach animation while Riding on nautilus

The player model looks strange when sitting on the nautilus.

 If the player were lying on it, holding onto the shell, it would be really cool. An animation of wiggling legs while moving could also be added, like the player is gently pushing the nautilus to indicate the desired direction.

 Additionally, it would be possible to disable item usage while moving, just like with a boat, and make the player drift a little on turns, which would allow for nautilus races on servers

also vote for "Nautilus water glider" https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/39936094399117-Nautilus-water-glider  same thing but without 2nd part

    This is a fun idea, and would make the Nautilus more manoeuvrable in flooded caves. Maybe the player sits on the Nautilus when it has a saddle, but does this when it doesn't?

    Considering that the saddle model looks slightly different on all animals purely due to game conventions, the saddle on the nautilus could also be different and look like handrails.

    Water is denser than air, and because of this, holding onto them should be more comfortable than sitting upright. Plus, the breathing effect looks a bit more logical this way.

    Considering that they are able to give you infinite water breathing, I'm sure they can also make it comfortable to sit atop them and render the player less impacted by the water density

    This is actually great, it's similar to the machine divers use that propels then forward

    I made a post about this concern, I dont think it was approved though. :(

    My idea was a little different and was that the player could be on the bottom and could hang from them while not swimming quick. Also i mentioned that dual weilding could be disabled.

    But I COMPLETELY agree with this, Im voting on it. =)

    I honestly think it'd be better to make the saddle look like it's just a handlebar strapped to the nautilus and have the player laying on the shell, that'd make it more realistic and look better

    Cool idea. Makes more sense in every way

    This would be so cool and make so much more sense than just sitting on its back and it somehow knowing where to go, and sitting on it looks a little cartoonish I think this would make it look cooler

    I completely agree with the second comment on this post

    When I heard we'd be swimming using the Nautilus, I imagined it would be like the Seaglide from Subnautica, and the player would be holding the sides of the Nautilus while it's propelling us forward. However, when it comes the building, sitting on it does make a sense. 

    So in the words of that one early 2000's taco commercial:  Por que no los dos?

    Have it be the first mob to have two different types of mounting.

    The first being sitting on top of the shell, it's a lot slower but you can use both hands to place and break blocks. Less for traversal and more for building and combat.

    The second being the player holding the sides of the shell. You can't use your hands, but the Nautilus can move a lot faster and even has better maneuverability, perfect for exploring the ocean and underwater caves.

    Edit: I thought I was clever, someone else had the same idea, I probably should've read the other comments first lol.

    this would make it look less odd and make a lot more sense. After all, how would you ride a giant nautilus? Sitting would most likely make the water lift you off because of the force when controlling the nautilus.

    I think the drowned should also ride the zombie nautilus this way
