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
