About

Nautilus Shells are obtained by killing drowned mobs in ocean biomes or by trading with wandering traders. They stack to 64, making them easy to stockpile for bulk crafting or trading operations.

Admins primarily use them to craft Conduit items, which provide underwater breathing and night vision effects in a defined radius. They are also a component of the Mending book trade with Librarian villagers. Hand them out with /give @p minecraft:nautilus_shell 1 and adjust the number as needed.
