A '''turtle shell''' is a variant of [[Minecraft:helmet]] that is crafted from turtle scutes. It is the third-highest tier of helmet, having the same armor points as [[Minecraft:Golden Helmet|golden]], [[Minecraft:Copper Helmet|copper]], [[Minecraft:Iron Helmet|iron]], and chainmail helmets but with higher durability. When equipped, it grants ten seconds of Water Breathing to a player who runs out of air. It is also a [[Minecraft:brewing]] ingredient for potions of the Turtle Master.

A turtle shell can be repaired in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] by adding turtle scutes, with each scute restoring 25% the turtle shell's maximum durability, rounded down. Two turtle shells can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the helmet's enchantments.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade turtle shells with trims. This requires a Minecraft:smithing template, a turtle shell, and an ingot or crystal (Minecraft:iron ingot, Minecraft:copper ingot, Minecraft:gold ingot, Minecraft:netherite ingot, Minecraft:emerald, Minecraft:redstone dust, Minecraft:lapis lazuli, Minecraft:amethyst shard, Minecraft:nether quartz, Minecraft:diamond, or Minecraft:resin brick).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.
