Minecraft Snapshot 24W04A Makes Armadillo Tougher, Breeze More Dangerous

Jan. 25, 2024

Armadillo Changes

Thanks to persistent community feedback and suggestions that the armadillo needs to have some kind of armor while it’s rolled up, Mojang has listened and delivered perfectly. From now on, when the armadillo mob is rolled up, its shell will protect it by reducing the incoming damage. In the case of weak attacks, like a regular punch, the armadillo will fully absorb the damage.

This may surprisingly lead to players inventing minigames that include punching armadillos. Even though that does sound horrible, remember that this cutie won’t take any damage in the process inMinecraft 1.21.

Furthermore, the armadillo now also comes with a memory system of sorts, which isresponsible for remembering the most recent attacker. So, if you hurt an armadillo and just walked up to it slowly, it will still roll up.

But opposite to that, Breeze will no longer try to attack otherMinecraft mobsin theTrial Chambers, such as skeletons, strays, zombies, husks, spiders, cave spiders, and slimes. These mobs also won’t attack the Breeze, so you can’t rely on that strat anymore.

Finally, when creating a new world, you’ll be able to toggle on “Allow Commands” now instead of the “Allow Cheats” option in the past.
