In 1877, French novelist Victor Hugo wrote: “No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.” Well actually he wrote it in French, but that’s a rough translation. Oh, and he was talking about Louis-Napoleon’s coup d’état of 1851. But you know what? It’s also true about turtles!
When our developers were putting together the Update Aquatic, they knew there was one idea whose time, indeed, had come. It was the brainchild of Reddit user billyK_.
In March 2015 he posted a suggestion for an alternative to boats on the Minecraft subreddit. His solution was turtles.
“For the past 2.5 years, I've pushed gently for turtles to be added,” he wrote earlier this year. “With Update Aquatic happening with no mention of turtles, I pushed a tiny bit harder.” Sure enough, turtles were added soon afterwards. Not only did his idea make him legendary within the Minecraft Reddit community, but it also won him a unique cape. “Many people can suggest Minecraft features, but few become walking Reddit legends,” said Jens Bergensten, Mojang’s Chief Creative Officer no less!
