Minecraft Snapshot 23w51a
Release: one year ago

We're now releasing Snapshot 23w51a, the first snapshot for Minecraft 1.20.5. This one comes with a present for your pet Wolf in time for the holidays - and the Armadillo.

Happy brushing!

New Features

  • Added Armadillo, Armadillo Scutes and Wolf Armor

Armadillo

  • The Armadillo is a new passive mob that:
    • drops Armadillo Scutes periodically
    • drops Armadillo Scutes when brushed
    • spawns in Savannas
    • its favorite food is Spider Eye

Armadillo Rolling Up Behavior

  • Armadillo rolls up when it detects a threat such as:
    • a sprinting player
    • a player in a vehicle or mounted
    • undead mobs
  • It does not roll up when:
    • it is fleeing
    • in water
    • in the air or
    • on a leash
  • When an Armadillo is rolled up it does not walk, cannot eat, and will not be tempted by food
    • It will continue to scan for threats: if none are detected for 3 seconds, it will unroll

Armadillo Scutes

  • Armadillo Scutes can be used to craft Wolf Armor
  • They are dropped by Armadillos
  • Dispensers can be used to brush Armadillo Scutes off Armadillos

Wolf Armor

  • Using Wolf Armor on an adult tamed Wolf will equip the armor on the wolf.
  • Only a Wolf's owner can put a Wolf Armor on their tamed Wolf, and with this in mind; Dispensers cannot put Wolf Armor on wolves.
  • Wolf Armor gives the same protection as Diamond Horse Armor.
  • Using Shears on a Wolf that is wearing armor will make it drop the armor
  • Only a Wolf's owner can shear a Wolf Armor from it, and with this in mind; Dispensers cannot remove Wolf Armor from wolves.
  • If a Wolf dies while wearing armor, it will drop the armor.

Changes

  • Renamed scutes that come from Turtles to Turtle Scutes
  • Llamas and Shulkers are no longer able to destroy armor stands
