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?

They did also add fur variants based on the biome they spawn in

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.

How is it bad that you have to figure something out in a game?

I'm not saying there shouldn't be puzzles. I'm criticizing that this puzzle is impossible to solve.
No one will wish to protect their dog and then realize they need to place 6 armadillo scutes in a chair-like pattern into a crafting grid.

Some might try to brute-force crafting patterns with armadillo scutes, but that is not fun.
And just looking up what to do with armadillo scutes, that is not fun either.

I can see your point. Other have sad that it should follow the horsearmor pattern. Which would make it a guess like "I wonder if I can use this animal part like the other animal parts which fill the same role."

That way you could formulate an educated guess and be happy when it turns out right.
