New Mob: Armadillo
The highlight of the Minecraft 1.20.5 update is the introduction of the armadillo, the mob vote winner. Armadillos can be found in the Savanah and Badlands biomes and have 12 hearts of health. They drop armadillo skuts, which can be used to craft wolf armor. Interestingly, armadillos can be bred with spider eyes, as spiders and cave spiders are scared of them. When threatened, armadillos roll up into their shells for protection, peeking out after 3 seconds to assess danger. Killing armadillos does not yield any loot, so it’s best to avoid harming them.
Wolf Variants and Armor
The Minecraft 1.20.5 update introduces nine new wolf variants, each spawning in different biomes. From the forest-dwelling woods wolf to the Badlands-dwelling strip wolf, players can now encounter a variety of wolves during their adventures. Mojang has also increased the health of tame wolves from 5 to 10 hearts, making them hardier companions. Feeding a tamed wolf now heals them twice as fast, showing Mojang’s dedication to the well-being of our furry friends. Collecting one of each wolf variant unlocks the “Full Pack” advancement.
One of the most exciting aspects of the update is the introduction of wolf armor. Using the armadillo skuts dropped by armadillos, players can craft wolf armor that visually breaks as it loses durability. However, using an armadillo scoot can repair the armor back to new. The armor can also be colored with any dye, allowing players to customize their wolves’ appearance. For those seeking even rarer armor, coloring the already colored armor creates various shades. To remove the armor from a wolf, simply use shears, unlocking the “Sheer Brilliance” advancement.
Other Updates and Changes
In addition to the major additions of the armadillo and wolf variants, the Minecraft 1.20.5 update includes several smaller updates and changes. Hopper performance has been improved, preventing hoppers from trying to pick up items when there is a full block above them. The item scoot has been renamed to turtle scoot for clarity. Shulkers can no longer destroy armor stands, which is particularly useful in farms. The animations when entering the Nether portal and end portal have been changed, resulting in smoother transitions. Creative mode has also seen improvements, allowing players to retrieve the text from signs and keep items in chests when picking up the blocks while holding the control key.
Overall, the Minecraft 1.20.5 update brings a surprising amount of new content and improvements to the game. Whether you’re excited about the new armadillo mob, the various wolf variants, or the quality-of-life changes, there’s something for everyone.
