Minecraft will soon be getting a brand new ocean mob called the nautilus and this will be special because it will be the first mountable underwater mob in the blocky world. You will be able to equip a saddle on it and then explore the ocean.If you are worried about breathing underwater, you don’t need it anything extra. Being on a nautilus gives you the Breath of the Nautilus status effect, allowing you to breathe underwater as long as you are on the mob.What’s even more interesting is that Mojang Studios went all out and added different variants of the nautilus, and this article is about all the variants you can find in Minecraft.All variants of nautilus mob in MinecraftNautilus mob in Minecraft can be tamed and ridden to explore underwater regions (Image via Mojang Studios)Nautilus is an underwater mob that you can find in the oceans. However, there are different types of nautilus both in behavior and in aesthetics. There’s the common regular nautilus that you can tame by feeding puffer fish and then ride it. You can also equip nautilus armor to protect it from the threats.Speaking of threats, you will come across the drowned sitting on the zombie nautilus, the second variant of the mob. Once you defeat the drowned, the zombie nautilus behaves like the normal variant; you can tame them by feeding puffer fishes, equip saddles on them, and ride them underwater. The only major difference is that zombie nautilus cannot breed.Finally, the third variant of the nautilus is the coral zombie nautilus that can be found in the warm ocean biome. These mobs look like the normal zombie nautilus but with colorful corals growing on their shells. This makes them quite visually distinctive. However, if you equip an armor, the corals are covered.Since Mojang Studios have added the final content drop recently, it seems that three nautilus variants are all players are getting with the Mounts of Mayhem update. This will be one of the most impactful updates in recent times as it adds many mobs, items, and some major gameplay changes.The release date of the final Minecraft game drop of 2025 has not been confirmed but you can expect Mojang Studios to release the update by the end of the year. It seems that everything is almost done and the developers are just working on ironing out bugs and errors, making the features better.The year 2025 has been great for the blocky game with game drops such as Spring to Life, Chase the Skies, The Copper Age, and the upcoming Mounts of Mayhem. The developers have finally understood that adding smaller but useful features and mobs is much better than one major feature that players barely use.
