      Oh goshdarnit, I was so confused why they made the wolf fur this weird salmon/brick color. Apparently, that’s an armadillo shell…? They really turned Minecraft into modded Minecraft, didn’t they?

        Let’s not besmirch the name of modded Minecraft. I just got my mekanism fission reactor running and the nuclear fallout from messing that up would make a 8 chunk area unlivable for 29 game days.

        Vanilla can have it’s fucking armadillos, lol.

          I mean, I can get behind that. It doesn’t increase gameplay complexity and people enjoy having their doggos in different colors.

          But adding a whole new mob and items for one specific niche purpose, that increases complexity quite a bit. New players will have no idea what to do with the armadillo drops, without looking it up or being told by that AI narrator thing, I guess.

            I think the scutes unlock the wolf armor recipe. It shows up in a corner for a bit and appears permanently in the recipe book

            How a player would learn how to get the scutes without outside help is harder to answer

              Hmm, okay, that seems more reasonable then. I didn’t know they had a recipe book built-in these days.

              And well, at least you don’t need wolf armor, so even if you never find armadillos, it’s not a problem.
