A '''nautilus shell''' is an [[Minecraft:item]] rarely dropped by killed [[Minecraft:nautilus]]es, or always dropped by [[Minecraft:drowned]] that  hold them. Nautilus shells, along with [[Minecraft:hearts of the sea]], are required to craft [[Minecraft:conduit]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Minecraft:Nautilus]]es have a 5% chance to drop a nautilus shell when killed by a [[Minecraft:player]] or tamed [[Minecraft:wolf]]. This chance can be increased by up to 8% with [[Minecraft:Looting]] III.

[[Minecraft:Drowned]] have a 3%{{only|java|short=1}} or 8%{{only|bedrock|short=1}} chance to spawn with a nautilus shell in their off-hand, and they always drop that nautilus shell upon [[Minecraft:death]]. {{IN|bedrock}}, this also includes zombies converted into drowned.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[Minecraft:wandering traders]] have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of [[Minecraft:Looting]]) to drop 1 nautilus shell when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an [[Minecraft:emerald]].

=== Fishing ===
{{main|Fishing#Items obtainable}}
Nautilus shells are obtainable through fishing, with a 0.8% chance per attempt. See [[Minecraft:fishing]] for more details.

=== Trading ===
[[Minecraft:Wandering trader]]s may sell 1 nautilus shell for 5 [[Minecraft:emerald]]s.

== Trivia ==
* Prior to the addition of the [[Minecraft:nautilus]] [[Minecraft:mob]] to the game, in a ''[[Minecraft:Taking Inventory]]'' article on [[Minecraft:minecraft.net]], [[Minecraft:Duncan Geere]] stated that nautiluses may have once existed in the [[Minecraft:Minecraft]] world, but became extinct.<ref>{{mcnet|nautilus-shell|Taking Inventory: Nautilus Shell|October 16, 2023|Duncan Geere}}</ref>
