Upgrading

Usage
Like horse armor, nautilus armor does not have durability.
Equipping
Nautilus armor can be equipped on a tamed nautilus or zombie nautilus by holding the nautilus armor and using the use button on the nautilus.
The nautilus armor can be removed from a nautilus by using shears on it.
Baby nautiluses are unable to equip nautilus armor.
Protection
There is a gradual increase in protection for the nautilus from wearing different increasing tiers of nautilus armor.
| Type | Armor | Armor toughness | Knockback resistance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 () | 0 () | 0 | |
| 5 () | 0 () | 0 | |
| 7 () | 0 () | 0 | |

Smelting

Enchanting
Nautilus armor cannot be enchanted in Survival mode without commands. However, in Java Edition Creative mode, an anvil can be used to enchant nautilus armor with Thorns, Feather Falling, Protection, Fire Protection, Projectile Protection, Blast Protection, Curse of Binding, and Curse of Vanishing. Other enchantments can be applied, but they have no effect.
