Hostility Level (Passive)
A turtle is a passive mob. The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and turtles. Because a turtle is a passive mob, it will never attack you in the game (Creative or Survival mode).
Health Points
In Minecraft, a turtle has 15 hearts
 for health. This gives a turtle 30 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill a turtle, you need to inflict 30 points of damage to the turtle.Where to Find Turtles
In Minecraft, turtles can be found in the Beach biome.
While turtles are generally found swimming in the water, if you do find a turtle on land it will be moving very slowly and will probably be headed in the direction of the nearest body of water. Turtles can be persuaded to follow you if you hold seagrass.
If you are having trouble finding a turtle, you can summon a turtle using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.
Weapon
A turtle does not carry a weapon.
Attack Method
You are safe to walk near a turtle and it will not attack or cause you any damage. And if you attack a turtle, it will just turn itself around and slowly move away. It will not attack you back.
Drops
When you kill a turtle in Minecraft, it will drop seagrass.
Make sure you pick up any dropped items before they disappear. They are useful and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
Experience Points
As you play the game, you will gain experience. The most common way to gain experience is by killing mobs. When a mob is killed you will see tiny green and yellow balls appear and move towards you.
These orbs represent experience points. When you kill a turtle, you will gain 1-3 experience points.
