I have thought that it would be a good idea to have a turtle to be able to make a massive farm for the collection of fish. Another idea that I have had is an Ender chest module upgrade, the recipe for the ender chest mod should be nether stars and diamonds surrounding a ender chest (coz it is so powerful).

…Do wha-? Ah, I see what you are saying now.

Okay, so the fishing one I could see. I think RichardG's Misc. Peripherals has a fishing turtle. Or was that Aperture Science turtles? I can't remember right now.

As for ender chests: For the original mod version of the chest, it has been stated that will never happen. You can already carry a chest with you and have the turtle place it, drop everything else it's carrying into it, pick the chest back up and move on. As for the Mojang chest, there's no way to link the turtle's chest to any other, because each player has their own ender inventory. Unless the pipe interface in forge ever changes to allow for facading a turtle with a specific player's id, it will never happen. Even then, I don' t think Dan or Cloudy would do something so insecure and cheaty. I think they said they would not, actually, but I don't remember.



So in short, Fishing turtles yes, ender turtles no, because that would be ridiculous to work with, or there is a better way to do it, and a no has been shouted on it before.

A fishing turtle would be pretty cool, but the ender turtle, not so much. I think it's better to simply use an ender chest with your turtles.

Not to say that some system of ender turtles wouldn't be pretty cool.

Except that Vanilla enderchests dont work since the turtle is not a player. only the chicken_bones enderchests work.

Locked. Fishing turtles exist and the ender chest suggestion falls under either impossible or the "enhancements" bit of the Suggestions Not to Make list (as you can place a chickenbones enderchest to interact with it and pick it up again).
