Nautili are passive mobs that spawn in oceans.
Appearance[]
Nautili are based off the chambered nautilus and the vanilla Nautilus Shell item, and are white in color, with a brown underside, red, pink, and orange stripes on its shell, a pale brown hood, and a dark grey mouth hiding in its tentacles.
Behavior[]
Nautili make no attempt to interact with any nearby players and mobs, and just aimlessly swim around. When swimming, they will float in place for a short amount of time before propelling themselves forward a great distance. Unlike squid and jellyfish, however, they seem to be capable of swimming around obstacles to some extent.
Nautili can be caught by using a water bucket on them; when this bucket is used on a block, it immediately empties, placing a source of water with the nautilus inside of it.
If a nautilus gets beached on land, it will start suffocating after 20 seconds. While on land, nautilus will not move, and will stay in place until they die; as well as this, they are extremely resistant to knockback while on land.
