New Minecraft Mobs
The Armadillo
The armadillo is a cute passive mob that resides in badlands and savannas. It gets easily scared when an undead mob or a sprinting player approaches it. The cute paw has very sharp senses, and whenever it feels threatened, it rolls up into a ball and waits until the danger is gone. When rolled up, the armadillo has a stronger defense and takes less damage if attacked. This shy guy drives away spiders and cave spiders.
Armadillos have more significance than just their cuteness. They are the only source of scutes. Armadillo scutes cannot be obtained by force and are available to players only after the armadillo naturally sheds them when brushed. Read below to learn about the significance of the scute.
New Wolf Breeds
The Armored Paws update introduces eight new wolf variations, bringing the total number of wolf breeds to nine. The breed that was previously the only one in the game is now called the "pale wolf." The new wolf breeds include Ashen, Black, Chestnut, Rusty, Snowy, Spotted, Striped, and Woods. Each of them will inhabit a different biome. Now, all players can choose their new friend with the appearance they prefer!

How to Get a Wolf Armor in Minecraft?
Well, it's no coincidence that the armadillo and the first wolf armor are released in the same update. The only way to craft wolf armor is by using an armadillo scute, as mentioned earlier. As we said, you can obtain it only by brushing the armadillo, so make sure not to scare them away! Additionally, you can dye the wolf armor to your liking, allowing you to customize your pet's appearance.
Wolves are one of the best parts of Minecraft, as they are loyal companions willing to protect us in battle. It's great to finally have a way to protect our furry friends and ensure their safety! You can track the state of the wolf's armor and how long it will last through the sounds it produces and the visual damage it receives when its durability drops to 60, 44, and 20 points.
