Wolves wearing dyed Minecraft:wolf armor in all 16 basic colors

• Crafted with 6 Minecraft:armadillo scutes in a harness shape.
• Protects Minecraft:wolves from most damage sources until the armor loses all durability and breaks.
  • Provides an armor value of Template:Armor.
• Shows signs of increased breakage as durability goes down.
• Using wolf armor on an adult tamed wolf will equip the armor on the wolf, and using Minecraft:shears will make it drop the armor.
  • Only a wolf's owner can put on / shear off wolf armor. That also excludes dispensers.
• The wolf's owner can repair the armor with Minecraft:armadillo scutes while it is equipped on the Minecraft:wolf.
• If a wolf dies while wearing armor, it will drop the armor.

Mobs

File:Armadillo JE2 BE2.png Minecraft:Armadillo

• The winner of Minecraft:Minecraft Live 2023's Mob Vote.
• A passive mob that spawns in Minecraft:savanna and Minecraft:badlands biomes with the same frequency as Minecraft:chickens and Minecraft:pigs.
• Has Template:Hp health points.
• Can drop Minecraft:armadillo scutes either periodically or when Minecraft:brushed, but drops no loot when killed.
  • Armadillos drop scutes at around the same rate as Minecraft:chickens lay eggs.
  • Brushing takes 16 durability from the Minecraft:brush.
• Can be bred with Minecraft:spider eyes.
• If an armadillo detects a threat, it will roll up.
  • Threats include:
    • A player Minecraft:sprinting.
    • A player in a vehicle or mounted.
    • Anyone it has been attacked by recently.
    • Minecraft:Undead mobs.
  • Special cases where an armadillo will not roll up include when it is:
    • Fleeing.
    • In water or in the air.
    • On a leash.
  • When an armadillo is rolled up it cannot walk nor eat, and will not be tempted by food. Additionally, it will be protected by its shell, causing it to take reduced damage and completely negating damage from weaker attacks.
  • While rolled up, armadillo continuously scans for threats. If no threats are detected for 3 seconds, it unrolls. Armadillos peek out to see if “the coast is clear” before unrolling.

Minecraft:Wolf
