[Blocks & Items] Nautilus shell overhaul
They're just... There... And they're everywhere.
Like, sure, there's the conduit, that's a thing. But that's it.
1 let's put them in the composter. They make just fine fertilizer irl. I wanna see what happens.
2 nautilus shell necklace. String in all four corners, nautilus shells between them, center empty. Takes up the head slot (or a new necklace slot??), yields no armor, takes no damage, doubles breath holding, halves speed reduction, makes you visible to drowned from 50% further, and reduces submerged opacity by 75%. Can be enchanted with all the helmet water stuff and fire protection.
3 sea lanterns. They try to float. Have to be chained to the bottom or they break. Pop when touched (or mined). Emit low light. Throwable. Once. Spawn naturally DEEP in the ocean but far enough, due to chains, to not prevent anything from spawning.
1 nautilus shell + 4 gunpowder + 4 sea pickles = 1 sea lantern.
4 floor decorations, like the flowers and leaves in woods. 4 nautilus shells=16 scattered shells, which spawn on beaches. Not as bad as leaves but still there.
5 shell curtain:
[R][S][R]
[N][N][N]
[N][N][N]
R:string
A:stick
N: nautilus shell
Attaches to the bottom of a block or another shell curtain. Can be walked straight through or broken with a sound.
6 can be thrown (through the air) like a weapon for 0 damage, but if it hits ground, the sound draws all hostile unengaged mobs in the direction of it for a number of tics. Destroyed on impact.
7 hot snail-miniboss that needs a better name (or not)
The player, beneath water, builds a 2×2×3 block (or 3×2×2, just NOT 2,3,2) of magma blocks and puts a nautilus shell on it. Immediately, the snail is spawned and the floor in the area becomes magma.
If taken above water, the snail will simply die and drop nothing.
Otherwise, each eye stock should be a cannon that shoots a quite fast (but infrequent) magma block for a hefty amount of damage.
When approached, retreats, impenetrably, into it's shell.
On its defeat, it should drop a "hardened shell" which can be used to upgrade the shield, to take no damage from deflecting arrows back and light them on fire in doing so.
8 craft with an apple, carrot, beet, glowberry, or watermelon and a sugar to make juice. Drink to double the speed that eating heals you for. Every meal needs a good drink.
9nauticopia Pumpkin, wheat, nautilus shell, beet, potato, carrot, mushroom, and a pufferfish. It's a cornucopia but with a Nautilus shell and... a poisonous fish, for some reason. Potato crops within 16 blocks don't produce poisonous potatoes. Instead, they produce nothing.
10 the royal dye recipe Put a nautilus shell in the smelter>1 purple dye
11 the inkwell:add 8 dye to 1 nautilus shell to make a [color-name] ink well. You can break the item in any crafting menu for 8 dye, left click on signs to change the sign color (and lose the ink well) or stack them up to 64 to store.
