This one haseyes on the sideinstead of on the forehead. It also has a slightly different base color that is lighter than the original and therefore the contrast between the darkest and lightest colors is much more visible. That’s not the only change to textures in this snapshot, asarmadillo scutesalso got a bit adjusted to suit the new armadillo colors.

In addition to the Savanna biome, this cute animal will also spawn in theBadlands biome, which makes it the only passive mob you can find there. Moreover, due to the fact that armadillos love to devour spider eyes for lunch, these arachnids are now scared of them.

So, if you don’t want to miss out on performance gains, then you can leave the value as is. But, if you want to leave it as it was before, simply change the value to 10 with the command above.
