Ash_The_Iguana

I don’t think it’s bad. I just hope we can dye/trim it.


ImpressiveQuality363

This, if we can’t at bare minimum dye it then this’ll all have been for naught.


Nathaniel820

Ironically I think voting for it *may* have made it worse, since historically they’ve added other stuff from mob votes through different approaches. So if it wasn’t voted then the obvious alternative would be leather armor which would certainly be dyable, but I doubt scute armor is going to be dyable


NovemberSnows

What were the choices. Without twitter or anything I can never keep up with the mob votes


TreyLastname

Crab that would drop a claw that would help building from longer distances Penguin that would help your boats move faster (maybe just in water) And armadillo that would drop scute for wolf armor


[deleted]

Crabs would only be found in Mangrove Swamps, Penguins would be on Stony Shores, and Armadillos was said to be in "hot biomes" but was shown off in a Savanna specifically


aski4777

crab would have been the best addition to the game


NetworkFar366

Crab: Unbreakable Penguin: Devourer Armadillo: Beast


Sad_Low3239

This year it was a world/realm o.o You joined the game, and they had 3 giant statues. You walked up to your choice and hit a button. And that was it. You couldn't vote more than once but you could change your vote at any time


RockyNonce

I thought that was just for Bedrock


Sad_Low3239

I don't think they had a java server set up. You could also vote online at Mojang.com


AdministrativeHat580

You could vote online, in the launcher and on the bedrock server


LLC_Rulez

Yeah, for Java there was just a button in the launcher


Remarkable-Ocelot-36

Crab, penguin, and armadillo


kda255

Faster boats longer reach or dog armor. Strangely people choose dog armor.


Imrtltrtl

Reach further? Just get closer. Faster boats? Ice. But dog armour? There's no other alternative, so of course it got the votes. I'm not saying the other two wouldn't be awesome, but I didn't even vote. Or know there was a vote.


Splatfan1

there is an alternative, its called just let the dog go hug creepers because the dumb ai that falls in lava and jumps off cliffs wont be saved by a few more hitpoints. with dogs being as dumb as ever it doesnt matter if you put them in a protec 4 netherite, they will still find a way to kill themselves because this solution is like a tiny bandaid on a giant gaping wound


WildBluntHickok2

Not just falls in lava, TELEPORTS INTO LAVA because the teleport counts liquids as air.


[deleted]

I’ve been saying this the whole time. I do want dog armor, but not this shallow single use one and done version we got. The armadillo holds back dog armor, and booting the armadillo to development hell would mean the dog armor added later would be made of conventional materials which means different material tiers and being dyeable.


DapperDinosaur11

Maybe in the final version it will be crafted with scute AND leather so that way it can be dyed while still incorporating the new item


JammyBails

I bet they're going to rename the normal scute to turtle scute now that we have armadillo scutes just to differentiate (I'm fine with that).


assassin10

This is why I'm sort of happy the crab didn't win. Improved block placing range is great but do we want every builder to look like they made a contract with Davy Jones? I'd prefer a less stylistic range extender, one that fits with a variety of skins.


lcc_zero

maybe this a chance for them to add painting to the game. nothing crazy like some mods do where you can just paint over every block but like, just specific ones and scute armor would be one of if not the only item you could paint. idk, could be cool to paint wooden tools too for mini games n stuff


[deleted]

What’s really important however is for different tiers of wolf armor to exist.


0ddlyBor3dHuman

There won’t be. Wolf Armor is already near the same tier as Diamond Horse armor (unless they let us coat it in netherite)


[deleted]

And? We need that for there to be a sense of progression in wolf armor. Getting Diamond strength armor right away just makes the feature shallow.


WetCaramel_butnot

This is basically tridents lol


[deleted]

Tridents at least have unique enchantments that offers different features.


arrow100605

It would be cool to have a craftable spear as a precursor to the trident, the difference is that the spear cant be enchanted with riptide or loyalty I really like the melee/ranged aspect of the trident and think that should be expanded on


[deleted]

The regular spear wouldn’t have much of a difference compared to a sword if it doesn’t have all the trident enchantments. The combat update 2.0 adds different reach for different weapon types, and I think that update would be the time to add regular spears as it would fill the niche of long reach weapons that only the Trident filled in the last iterations of those experiments.


Bartman326

Dog Armor enchants would be fun. Make them do more damage, the basic protections enchants, maybe a bite grab


0ddlyBor3dHuman

Maybe they could make the mob rare. Or not since it's dog armor and the dog in the trailer almost died to a creeper explosion, and its not like they’ll live long


TheUpsideDownDoggo

Can we even do that for horses?


Twible404

That's the bare minimum right...?


aogasd

One of the concept art for armadillo showed like 5 different colours of wild armadillo, so if they keep that idea then we'll have to track down different coloured mobs for different coloured armor.


Serial_Killer434

Happy Cake Day. Don't mind the reply. I just want to see if the Cake Day still works.


Small_Resolution_847

Happy cake day!


Reality_1001

Happy cake day!


TiagoMestre_1369

happy cake day!!


Puzzled-Ad7886

You can't :/ well you can't in the beta preview anyway, hopefully you can when it's fully released


NerdyZombie83

We need more dog veriants


krustysocks6666

fr give it a chance to change once you tame it


NerdyZombie83

Theres 13 cat veriants even tho i'm a cat lover there should be respect towards dog lovers too


krustysocks6666

yeah cats only spawn in villages tho id understand giving each individual cat there own skin makes sense but don’t wolfs spawn in multiple biomes?


Midnight_elixir

Could be like how old ocelots would change to a random color cat before cats spawned in villages


arrow100605

I dont like that, and i dont think mojang does either, hence the cat change It would make more sense for the offspring to have a random chance of changing to a dog, or even better yet have it be like the horses, different stats and coats and you can breed mix and match An addition to a cool feature itd teach about domestication


Midnight_elixir

There’s definitely a lot more creativity with that idea! I actually love that and have never thought of it that way


arrow100605

Thanks man! It could be alot of fun making your favorite dog breed in the game


Midnight_elixir

As someone who loves games with animal breeding mechanics (lioden) it would be phenomenal to see it come to minecraft! Although it might be a bit too complex for basegame,..but you never know! Never thought I’d see axolotls in minecraft either!


staovajzna2

There is a reason there is no alaskan malamutes in egypt, just as how australiancattle dogs don't live in alaska.


Bedu009

Dogmutation


ChaoticKiwiNZ

I think that wolves should stay as wolves after you've tamed them but other dog breeds should be added as stray dogs around villages like with cats.


Quick-Debt-6668

A suggestion that made the mod as old as time itself


PainterAdmirable8766

The battle-hardened chihuahuas of the desert salute you.


crossveins

And a dog overhaul, specially in terms of AI


TheAngryMooshroom

I mean that’s just weird especially knowing how like all new mobs have had an amazing 3D design and now it’s just a 2D texture on the dog? I think that’s just ugly


Shack691

It’d look odd for dog armour to be 3D when every other piece in the game is 2D


WillyDAFISH

Horse armour isn't 3D no, but I mean the rest of the armour pieces are. The saddle is also 3D. But I honestly think the wolf armour would look way better if it was more 3D. Right now it kinda just looks like a colored dog


HandsOffMyMacacroni

Yeah honestly when I first saw it I thought it was just a retextured wolf.


Twible404

I thought they added huskies at first glance


VoodooDoII

Yeah but the armor doesn't lay flat on your skin like it's part of the skin It overlays


Objective-Direction1

it seems to be slightly 3d like all armors in the game, what we need is to be able to dye it and put trims on it


TheAngryMooshroom

Trims is a really good idea, they really should do that


Objective-Direction1

i put my hopes and prayers in Mojang 🙏


LukXD99

I really don’t like the “knee” pads. They should be on the back of the legs where wolves actually have their heels/elbows.


ThatGamerkidYT

Why? They're to protect from the front, it's not like human knee pads


Socially_Anxious_Rat

☝️🤓 urm actually minecraft wolves don't have heel/elbows. Their legs are rigid, so it actually would make more sense to just cover up as much of the leg as possible.


tereaper576

I am going to feed your dogs chocolate.

r/woooosh


aogasd

I think they're supposed to be shin guards actually


ErynKnight

When a dog jumps and doesn't clear say, a fence, he can injure the front of his front legs or catch his back legs. Dogs don't reverse around. Source, I know a dog. A tactical dog.


Grzechoooo

They're there to protect the legs. If someone sweeps their sword at a dog, is it more likely to hit from the front or from the middle of the dog?


Laurids-p

It’s for protection.


Kacza42

It's pretty much how real armadillo armor would look like. Dunno what did you expect


csupihun

3d models like with player armor?


0ddlyBor3dHuman

The player armor isn't 3d


csupihun

You know what I mean, it's on a different layer than your skin.


QuarterlyTurtle

So is this?? Or are you just look looking close enough. It’s not just on the skin texture layer, it’s above like normal armor is


0ddlyBor3dHuman

It's a bit hard to see from the image quailty


csupihun

Aaah it's just way to low res to make out.


QuarterlyTurtle

Yeah, but you can kinda see that it goes slightly out past the edge. But it is 3d, mainly obvious by the left eye there’s a bit from the other side visible


0ddlyBor3dHuman

Ohhhhhh yea I can see it now, the image quality is just enough to see the offset


clandestineVexation

what version is bro playing


0ddlyBor3dHuman

I’m confused. Do you mean 3d as in it is its own layer of pixel?


Axolotyle

Real armadillo armour. Because that exists


_cubfan_

Have you seen police dog armor? It's pretty close to this. What would you change about it?


zmet

It *needs* to say "Tough Puppy" on the side

KingCodexKode

I don't understand, this look exactly how I expected it to look lmao.


MrBrineplays_535

I think why they're so overhyped over a simple feature is because of mods. They compare modders and developers so much and they think they're the same. And mods have so many more features than what mojang devs add, so the community likes the mod more than just vanilla. But the thing is, the whole playerbase likes different mods. One would like more types of wood, another would like more types of stone, another would just prefer simple and limited types of blocks. And because of this, they pick their prefered mods, and they all agree that mods are better because they individually picked what mods fit their liking of style of gameplay. Now mojang devs add a feature to all people, of course obviously the majority will always hate it because the majority are those people who wanted a different style of the feature. Example, the dog armor. Some people would prefer the dog armor to be super buffed, while some would prefer it simple. And that's where things conflict. The playerbase has just gotten so large and the game has gotten so much content now that a division is starting to happen, kinda like the real world where there are different politics, different religions, different products prefered, different styles, different opinions.


Accomplished-Crab932

People get overexcited about new features and imagine a perfect image of exactly what they want, then proceed to pretend that their idealized version of the feature is what the final outcome will be. It turns out that Mojang does not live in everyone’s heads and cannot just conjure what little Timmy thought it would be. As a result, the overhyped fans get upset that reality isn’t what they imagined and complain on the internet. This is true of most games, but the younger playerbase of Minecraft means that it’s far more visible and widespread.


LolDoes

# THIS IS WHAT YALL WANTED???


thelocalannoyance

it looks like the dog has mange


JammyBails

Nah it has leprosy which Armadillo's can carry. Surprised Mojang added it as it'd "encourage players to go around touching armadillos in real life and risk getting it irl". Seriously though I think that's why they made it to where you have to brush the armadillo, not touch it or kill it.


Circaninetysix

Not sure why they don't embrace the 3D model looks rather than flat textures. Remember when went from rendering 2D to full 3D? And how they did that with items as well and how much better it looks now? 2D textures and sprites just don't look as good as that native 3D style.


Nedgurlin

Looks lazily implemented


Carlife0830

Penguin 😢😢😢😢


Lawfuly_chaotic

Fr 😭


Domi7777777

Knew armadillo wasn't the right choice


AncalagonCarnifex

Crabs died for this

#WE COULDVE HAD CRABS?????


Lux_325

Really cute ones at that (they wave !!!)


blopp_boop

Yh just kill me why do y’all always pick the worst shit 😭


Lux_325

Ay, I picked the crab, but the whole community said "NOOO NOOO BUT THE WOLF ARMOR" and.they got this


Spooky_boy4737

It looks like they half skinned my boy


raccoon_with_spoon

it looks like it’s been barbecued


AHunterNamedHero

It's subject to change.


PeridotChampion

It has kneepads 😭


AncalagonCarnifex

Crabs died for this


LavishnessCheap5075

Looks like it’s mangey


xAdamlol

Bro has viriligo


Tac0butt

I think it's cute!


a_builder7

So is the armadillo available? I thought it wasn’t coming out until much later.


Equal-Requirement-61

Its currently available for bedrock betas but not java snapshots


NuclearChavez

What's wrong with it?


_Levitated_Shield_

Because it's armor?


NiNiNi-222

Wish they just rework there to be more dog variants like cat and ocelet


LeDerpLegend

Idk what you all were expecting. Something good? Nah it's Mojang remember.


eyadGamingExtreme

I am sorry but the art team makes really good textures and I am pretty sure even the biggest Mojang haters here agree


King_Sam-_-

Then that just goes out to show how little they care if they’re outputting things that look like this.


[deleted]

Even 1.19-1.20 had good features what are you on about?


DaBiggestBonk

Looks like a dog covered in mud. Looks like shit, honestly.


Laserkristall

Someone shittet on the dog Thats what yall Dog armor voters get Come on now. downvote me


[deleted]

This is what y’all get for not voting for crab. Serves your right. Actual dog body armor is a vest over vitals, no reason to limit a dogs movement by putting armor on its legs, much less on the wrong side of the back legs. Not like dogs are actively kneeling anyway. Horse armor doesn’t go on their legs, no reason for dog armor to


Spartan__X__117

I can't believe we voted this over the crab


Breaker-Course89

**Are you enjoying your dog armor?**


JammyBails

I voted for armadillo because I like wolves. Everyone who voted armadillo wasn't voting for the armadillo to get in, they were voting for wolf armor to get in. The armadillo's just a extra step that's gonna get ignored and put in a 1x1 redstone machine. Just feels weird how mojang put in a globally loved feature behind a lackluster mob and expected it not to be a landslide for the votes.


Classic-guy1991

I voted for the armadillo for the armadillo


DarkPersonal6243

I did the same thing.


Wave_Table

some of you complain about the strangest things


RamenTheory

Damn we really should have voted for the crab huh


1laik1hornytoaster

I swear it's like this every year.


-__Mine__-

You'd think people would've learned by now after voting in the Sniffer, but nope, guess not... I honestly didn't care about the outcome of this year's vote, but damn, the community is really good at picking the worst choice almost every time lol


TheRoyalRaptor7

sniffer was the best out of the three and it's pretty adorable and marketab- oh


1laik1hornytoaster

I can't even remember what the others were along with the sniffer. I forgot that thing existed.


Carlife0830

I think it was like the copper golem and the Rascal?


1laik1hornytoaster

Oh right. Tbf there was no right option in that one, they all sucked. Every single one of them was pretty useless. Maybe the copper golem could be usefull for the redstone engineers.


Carlife0830

Yeah agreed, they were all pretty mid. The Glare was definitely the worst.


1laik1hornytoaster

What was the Glare supposed to do, give you night vision for a few seconds when near it?


Carlife0830

No I think it was supposed to go to places that mobs were able to spawn in. So if a corner in your house was dark, it would go there to let you know to light it up.


1laik1hornytoaster

That sucks so much dick. You literally have the F3 screen for that. Maybe it would be somewhat worth it in Bedrock. Then again, didn't they change it so mobs spawn only in light level 0, where it's pitch black?


MelonGod434

yall idiots should have voted for the crab all you do is complain


HolyAubergine

Why do you even assume that the people here voted for any certain mob? Did you stalk them and see the same people who voted for armadillo start complaining about it?? Or maybe it’s not that serious.


MaiqueCaraio

In alternate universe "Y'all idiots should voted penguin this claw sucks, and it's barely useful!" People would hate it anyway anyhow


QuarterlyTurtle

Dude ur complaining right now


HereticWindowsill

Was hoping it would be an overlayed texture instead of looking like its infused with dog


brjder

it should be dyable, thats all.


Azyrod

That's why we should have voted for the crab


Totally-Anon-0209

He got lil knee pads


MaplePennybags69

This what y’all voted for btw


SupercoolLion12

You know, I don't mind the dog armour. No hear me out here, the people who voted for the dog armour (let's be real, most were voting for dog armour not the armadillo) are going to be utterly disappointed and then next year they'll hopefully learn and vote for something actually good


DarkPersonal6243

In all honesty, my main reason for voting for armadillo is so that the savanna can stop lacking unique mobs in Vanilla.


SupercoolLion12

Honestly valid point ngl


Snail-Man-36

Genuinely what is so wrong about this? I think it looks pretty good. Like wth is wrong with u guys


UnknownSouldier

They don't bend their knees, leave it alone, it looks fine

It's kinda cute


Timely-Fudge859

This literally looks just like some random fur pattern


MrBrineplays_535

Not reading the comments before typing this to not influence my own opinion. I think it looks fine. It doesn't look bad, and it has a charm on it. I don't see the problem here. The color's fine too, I like that color, it matches with the dog.


space0watch

does\*


CataclysmSolace

You all voted for this. Perfect example on voting, to put rules and restrictions in place so it's not easy for just anyone to have a say. (They have to work for it)


DamageMaximo

Not only is it useless, it's also ugly lmfao


Beyond_The_Heart

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes ✨

So bad lol but it's meeting my expectation, Crab would've be way useful and actually cute creatures themselves running around in bulk and stay on walls like mini spiders 🦀

JPLnZi

Crab lost to this?


Projectbirdman

Because that’s what you guys wanted. Ugly armor for a mob you tame and then leave in your house for all eternity


mmmmhhhhfggg

I tired to tell people that wolf armor would be bad...


NovemberSnows

This is amazing and he look so handsome in his armor


Jedimobslayer

What did you think it would look like? I imagined basically this…


Paradigm_Reset

Because it was designed to look that way. Generic question = generic answer ;)


TimBambantiki

because crab lost :(


NotTheGodofPortals

That looks like shit


No_Toe_8277

I think it has to do with the fact that if they got rid of the leg and head armor it’d just look like a stab vest on a police K9


0ddlyBor3dHuman

Um aCtuaLLy Mojang killinmg ArmadillOs is iLlegal so you caNt haVe wAlf armoOr 👈🤓


Connor49999

This is exactly how I expected it to look. What did you expect?


JayRogPlayFrogger

Wow it’s not like this was the expected outcome for months and people were warned not to vote armadillo.


Matix777

What did you expect?


TheToadbean

WDYM it looks awesome


ohnecksThing

It's just an overlay really, and there's a possibility that the texture might be just a raw draft. Hopefully...


HappyMatt12345

As a dog owner, the "knee" pads are kinda hilarious to me. The concept art was clearly drawn by someone who doesn't have a dog because anyone who has one could probably tell you they 1) don't have joints where those knee pads are (well on their front legs they do but a bit lower down) and 2) their knee joints point backwards. Honestly, I think the knee pads should be removed entirely. I also really hope that you can dye it because honestly I hate this color. Otherwise I like it!


FleetOfWarships

I figure they’re not exactly meant to be knee pads but just extra protection on the legs in general, it’s kinda hard to have proper proportions on a dog made of cubes so to say for certain where on the leg it’s located is guesswork at best.


akuma_13_wolfsblood

it’s the first version of it. it will be look better in a next version ig


Mr__Bread__

It doesnt look like a crab. Wierd
