The Armadillo, a passive mob introduced in Minecraft's 1.20.5 "Armored Paws" update, inhabits various warm biomes. Its tough scutes are crucial for crafting Wolf Armor. Here's how to acquire them:
Acquiring Armadillo Scutes:
Armadillos are found in groups (two to three) within these biomes: Badlands, Eroded Badlands, Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Windswept Savanna, and Wooded Badlands. Their defensive mechanism is rolling into a ball when startled; approach cautiously!
There are two methods for obtaining scutes:
-
Passive Collection: Similar to collecting chicken eggs, an Armadillo sheds a single scute every 5-10 minutes. This requires patience but no tools.
-
Brushing: The more efficient method involves a crafted Brush. This tool gently removes one scute per use.
Brush Details:
A Brush requires one Feather, one Copper Ingot, and one Stick (placed vertically in the crafting grid). In Java Edition, a fully durable Brush can be used four times on an Armadillo; in Bedrock Edition, five times. Damaged Brushes can be repaired using an Anvil, preserving enchantments if present. Possible enchantments include Unbreaking, Mending, and Curse of Vanishing.
Once you've gathered six scutes (enough for one suit of Wolf Armor), craft the armor at a Crafting Table.
These methods currently represent the only ways to obtain Armadillo Scutes in Minecraft.
Minecraft is available now.
