Equipping
Nautilus armor can be equipped on a tamed nautilus or zombie nautilus by holding the nautilus armor and using the use button on the nautilus.
The nautilus armor can be removed from a nautilus by using shears on it.
Baby nautiluses are unable to equip nautilus armor.

There is a gradual increase in protection for the nautilus from wearing different increasing tiers of nautilus armor.

Nautilus armor cannot be enchanted in Survival mode without commands.

Other enchantments can be applied, but they have no effect.
