In the latest Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem update, they've added the Nautilus mob. These guys let you dive into underwater adventures without stressing about running out of air. But sometimes you'll run into nasty mobs down there and have to scrap it out. Keeping your ride safe is key to coming out on top, so Mojang came up with Nautilus armor.

It's like the armor you wear yourself – it lets your sea buddies soak up more damage before going down. There are five types, each with different levels of protection. Stick around to find out about Nautilus armor in Minecraft and how to snag it without much hassle.

How to Obtain Nautilus Armor in Minecraft

Buried Treasure In Minecraft

Right now, you can't craft Nautilus armor in Minecraft. Your best bet is raiding loot chests in three particular spots:

  • Buried Treasure: These are chests stashed way underground, tough to find even with a map.
  • Ocean Ruins Chest: Buried under the sea, built from stone bricks and sandstone. Bust through some blocks to uncover a secret chest.
  • Shipwreck Chests: Wrecks pop up underwater or on beaches. They've got chests that might hold Nautilus armor.

No crafting means you'll need to poke around a bit. After grabbing the armor and taming a Nautilus in Minecraft, just right-click on it with the armor in hand to slap it on. When you're riding, you'll see the shield points show up above its health bar.

How to Upgrade to Netherite Nautilus Armor in Minecraft

You won't find Netherite Nautilus armor in chests. Just like upgrading your own gear to Netherite, grab a Smithing Upgrade Template and a Netherite ingot.

Upgrade Nautilus Armor

Head to a smithing table and open it up. Slot the template in the left spot, Diamond Nautilus armor in the center, and the ingot on the right.

Boom, you've got Netherite Nautilus armor – drag it to your inventory. It shrugs off knockback and offers top-tier protection.
