Minecraft: Tame Nautilus Mobs for Underwater Mounts
Minecraft introduces Nautilus mobs as underwater mounts. Tame them with Pufferfish for underwater exploration.
In Minecraft's latest update, players can now encounter and tame Nautilus mobs in ocean biomes across all versions, enriching underwater exploration. These creatures spawn beneath level 38 and usually appear in groups of two or three.
Key facts
- Nautilus mobs spawn in ocean biomes, including frozen and warm variants.
- The Nautilus appears below level 38 in the game world.
- To tame a Nautilus, use a Pufferfish or a bucket of Pufferfish as bait.
- Once tamed, Nautilus can be equipped with a saddle for transportation.
Performance & fixes
Taming grants players the "Breath of the Nautilus" effect, pausing the oxygen bar and extending underwater time temporarily. This offers an advantage for underwater exploration and resource collection but requires management of the effect's duration.
Impact / What’s next
Players will find that taming Nautilus mobs changes how they approach underwater travel and exploration. Keeping Nautilus mobs in water-accessible pens ensures they remain accessible as mounts. Players can also breed these creatures using fish, which directly impacts their growth and utility. As players adapt, Nautilus will become integral to ocean-based strategies in Minecraft.
