The Armadillo, a passive mob introduced in Minecraft's 1.20.5 "Armored Paws" update, is found across various warm biomes. Its tough scutes are crucial for crafting Wolf Armor. Here's how to acquire these valuable scutes.
Armadillos inhabit warm biomes, spawning in groups of two or three. They possess a unique defense mechanism: rolling into a ball when approached quickly. Therefore, a slow and cautious approach is key to avoid this defensive maneuver.
These are the biomes where you'll find them: Badlands, Eroded Badlands, Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Windswept Savanna, and Wooded Badlands.
There are two methods for collecting Armadillo Scutes:
Method 1: Patience and Waiting
Similar to collecting chicken eggs, an Armadillo will drop a single scute every 5-10 minutes. This passive method requires no tools or effort, but it can be slow, especially if you need many scutes for multiple sets of Wolf Armor.
Method 2: The Brush Method
This popular method requires a crafted Brush. While often used to investigate sand or gravel, the Brush can gently collect one scute per use on an Armadillo.
In the Java Edition, a fully durable unenchanted Brush can be used four times before breaking. In Bedrock Edition, it's five uses. Damaged Brushes can be repaired by combining two damaged brushes, and enchanted brushes can be repaired using an Anvil to preserve their enchantments.
Brushes can be enchanted with Unbreaking, Mending, and Curse of Vanishing.
Crafting a Brush requires one Feather, one Copper Ingot, and one Stick, placed vertically in the center three slots of a crafting table.
Approach Armadillos slowly, and use the brush to collect scutes. The number of scutes you obtain depends on the number of brushes you've crafted.
Once you've collected six scutes (enough for one suit of Wolf Armor), you can craft the armor at a crafting table.
Currently, these are the only methods to obtain Armadillo Scutes in Minecraft. Choose the method that best suits your playstyle.
