FEATURES
-3 turtle variations, basic turtle, demon turtle, and ender turtle

-normal turtles spawn in beach biomes, ocean biomes, river biomes, and swamp biomes, on sand blocks, but never under water

-Demon turtles spawn in the hell biome

-Ender turtles spawn everywhere, especially the end
-turtle breeding with apples
-SMP support
-turtle shells
-tame normal turtles with a golden apple
-tamed turtles can be healed by feeding them carrots
-normal shell armor

almost as enchantable as leather
same protection as iron armor but lasts longer

-demon shell armor

almost as enchantable as leather
More protective than diamond but only lasts a little longer than leather
grants immunity to fire when wearing a full set

-Ender shell armor

almost as enchantable as leather
Slightly less protective than green shell armor and lasts longer than iron but not as long as diamond
If you take any damage while wearing a full set you'll be teleported to a random location nearby. Perfect for escaping fights, and avoiding drowning, suffocating, or lava.
