|---|---|
| Needs |  Hunger  Thirst  Hygiene  Mood  Energy |
| Eats | From a Food Bowl. It doesn't graze. |
| Drinks | From a Water Bowl; without one, from a pond, river or lake (within 10 blocks). |
| Favourite kibble | None |
| Hand-feed with | Its vanilla food, or any kibble |
| Toilet | None: only cats, ocelots, dogs and foxes have a bladder need. |
| Sleeps | Settles where it is (or its Rest Spot), breathing slowly. |
| Plays | Chases a thrown Pet Ball and noses it around. Its own pastime is swimming laps. |
| Can sit | It's a tameable animal, but has no sitting pose: on Stay it holds its position. |
| Petting | Sneaking with an empty hand opens its inventory, as in vanilla. Use a Pet Brush to bond with it instead. |
Swimming laps
Every minute or two an Idle nautilus that's in the water swims a few quick laps to random spots nearby, trailing bubbles. It enjoys it (Mood up).
Eating & drinking
It drinks from the water around it (or a water bowl) and eats from a food bowl. Hand-feeding is the easiest way to keep a sea creature fed.
Any kibble or a hay bale fills a Food Bowl (4 servings); any other food adds one serving. A water bucket fills a Water Bowl, a water bottle adds two servings.
The zombie nautilus lives exactly the same way.
Tips
- Set it to Idle in the water near the shore and put its food bowl right at the edge.
- While you ride it, it simply goes where you steer.
