No Homesick Turtles

Get Those Eggs

Tired of bringing home turtles just to find they will only lay eggs where they were born? Fret no more! With this mod installed, Genetic Animals turtles are no longer homesick and will lay eggs on any sand block they were bred on. The original behavior was added by Mojang but its very annoying to deal with when you want to breed beautiful Genetic Turtles.

F.A.Q.

Is this mod server or client side?

It is server side. It will work in singleplayer worlds and on servers that don’t want to add extra mods to their client modpacks.

My turtle says it is fertilized but won’t lay, what gives?

Make sure they have sand blocks within 9 blocks of where you bred them, they need a soft bed of sand to lay their eggs on. If the sand is covered by blocks like carpets or snow, they won’t recognize it.

I bred the turtles on sand blocks from another mod but they don’t recognize it as sand?

This likely means that mod author didn’t tag their sand blocks properly. Turtles will lay eggs on any block with the #minecraft:sand tag. If the mod author won’t fix it you can add the tag yourself with a datapack.

Will this still work if its added to existing worlds with turtles that already spawned?

Yep!
