To use a turtle helmet, simply equip it in the helmet slot of your character's inventory, just like any other helmet in the game.
Here's a more detailed explanation, focusing on Minecraft since that's where turtle helmets are typically found:
Equipping a Turtle Helmet in Minecraft
The primary way to use a turtle helmet in Minecraft is to equip it.
- Open your inventory: Press the key assigned to open your inventory (usually 'E').
- Locate the Turtle Helmet: Find the turtle helmet in your inventory.
- Equip the Helmet: Drag the turtle helmet to the helmet slot in your character's paper doll display, or right-click (or tap) the helmet to equip it. The helmet slot is located at the top of the character display.
Benefits of Wearing a Turtle Helmet
Wearing a turtle helmet provides several benefits:
- Armor: It provides +2 armor points, offering some protection against damage.
- Water Breathing: The most significant advantage is the Water Breathing effect. When worn, the turtle helmet grants 10 seconds of Water Breathing. This timer resets each time you enter water or a bubble column. So, as long as you stay in or quickly re-enter water/a bubble column, you'll continuously refresh the water breathing.
- Crafting Potion of the Turtle Master: Turtle shells are a key ingredient to craft the Potion of the Turtle Master.
Obtaining a Turtle Helmet
You obtain turtle helmets by crafting them. The recipe involves Scute, which are dropped by baby turtles when they grow into adults. You need five Scute to craft one turtle helmet.
Summary
Using a turtle helmet is straightforward: equip it in your helmet slot. This grants you a small armor bonus and, more importantly, the ability to breathe underwater for brief periods, refreshed each time you enter water or a bubble column.
