Just a few minutes ago Jappa released V2 of the Beta textures for minecraft.... i noticed something strange tho, there seems to be what looks like a turtle shell texture on the iron helmet.
As we do know, turtles are coming to The Update Aquatic, perhaps we'll get a new helmet! or maybe even full turtle armor?
Update: It seems the official download for the pack has been switched to have normal iron armor.
i'm not sure at what point it was corrected, possibly when Jappa tweeted this:
Some people say that it could be leaked on purpose, but given how quickly and silently it was fixed i kinda doubt it..
Although, a potential possibility is they did purposely leaked it to test the waters (pun intended), to see the community's feedback so they don't have another parrot incident on their hands.
video i recorded of the helmet texture:
If you'd like to download and take a look at it yourself, here's a download to the version with the turtle helmet:
(I will keep this post updated with any turtle shell armor information)
//UPDATE:
It's official! so far at least! just released in Snapshot 18w07a, turtles have been added along with other Update Aquatic features!
Turtles, Turtle shell pieces and Turtle shells have been added!
Turtles do not drop Turtle Shell Pieces upon killing.
you presumably collect them like chicken's eggs.
You craft a Turtle Shell like this:
and bada bing bada boom, you have a Turtle Shell!
The Shells only have 2 armor, but you constantly have the waterbreathing effect applied for 10 seconds when you wear it, the 10 seconds only starts counting down when you're in water.
Honestly though 2 armor isn't that bad, leather helms have 1, diamond has 3, and all the other ones have 2 as well, so you aren't really compromising.
Turtle shell pieces >> helm only; interesting limit.
Given the superior nature of Respiration3 to 10 seconds of waterbeathing (as well as the 3 vs 2 armor value), I think turtle shells will probably be a (largely) early game bit of kit…
(especially if the other standard helmet enchantments [Aqua Affinity, Protection X 4 and Unbreaking3] can not also be applied).
[I raise the issue because of the item name "Turtle Shell" which suggests it [i]may[/i] not be considered a helm for purposes of recieving enchantments.]
EDIT: looking at some of the snapshot vids and some other posts, it may be that the waterbreathing lasts 10 seconds after the headgear is removed — which would make it much more useful… (and a real competiitor for the current uber helm)

OoOooOh!
Don't pretend to be someone you aren't. Be yourself. Even if you try to be someone else ill knows its you. Your a terrible actor.
Logdotzip mentioned this once, I'm excited.
THX for keeping this updated :>:
