Turtle

Turtles are essentially robots, and were added in the 1.3 update. They run an OS (like the consoles) named TurtleOS. They have the ability to place, break and detect blocks, move around and drop items in their inventory. The programs they run are stored on floppy disks.

Turtles are submersible and lavaproof. As such, they are extremely useful for mining near bedrock, where heavy lava flows can prevent access to diamonds and other rare finds.

If you would like to know more about how to program them, have a look at the Turtle API.

Floppy Disks

Turtles do not have a built-in floppy drive. As such they need a floppy drive placed next to them to access disks.
