Armadillo
- The Armadillo is a new passive mob
- Armadillos drop Armadillo Scutes periodically, and when brushed
- Armadillos spawn in Savannas and Badlands
- The Armadillo’s favorite food is the Spider Eye
- Armadillos are tempted by Spider Eyes

- The Armadillo rolls up when it detects a threat such as:
- A player sprinting, riding a mount, or riding a vehicle
- Undead mobs
- A mob or a player it has recently been attacked by
- The Armadillo does not roll up when:
- Fleeing, in water, in the air, or when on a Lead
- When an Armadillo is rolled up:
- It does not walk, cannot eat, and will not be tempted by food
- Its shell will protect it, reducing damage taken, even allowing it to fully resist weak attacks
- It will continue to scan for threats, occasionally peeking to check the surroundings
- If no threats are detected for 4 seconds, it will unroll
- Spiders and Cave Spiders will run away from Armadillos that are not in a rolled up state
Armadillo Scutes
- Armadillo Scutes are dropped by Armadillos periodically or when an Armadillo is brushed
- Armadillo Scutes can be used to craft Wolf Armor
- Dispensers can be used to brush Armadillo Scutes off Armadillos
Wolf Armor
- Wolf Armor can be crafted with Armadillo Scutes and can be dyed in a similar fashion to Leather Armor
- The Wolf Armor will protect the Wolf from most damage sources until the armor loses all durability and breaks
- Wolf Armor shows signs of breakage as durability goes down
- Using Armadillo Scutes on the Wolf Armor while it is equipped on the Wolf will repair it
- Using Shears on a Wolf that is wearing armor will drop the armor
- Wolf Armor can only be equipped on a tame adult Wolf
- Only the Wolf’s owner can equip, repair, and shear Wolf Armor
- Dispensers cannot equip nor remove Wolf Armor
Wolf Variants
New Wolf variants have been added. The variant is determined by the biome they spawn in. Wolves spawn in packs, with a default pack size of 4.
- Pale Wolf – The Wolf we’re all familiar with. This variant spawns in the Taiga biome
- Woods Wolf – A variant that spawns in the Forest biome. This will be the dominant Wolf variant that you will be able to find in the Overworld, since the Forest biome is very common
- Ashen Wolf – A variant that spawns in the Snowy Taiga biome
- Black Wolf – A variant that spawns in the Old Growth Pine Taiga biome, in smaller packs of 2-4
- Chestnut Wolf – A variant that spawns in the Old Growth Spruce Taiga biome, in smaller packs of 2-4
- Rusty Wolf – A variant that spawns in a new location for Wolves – the Sparse Jungle biome, in smaller packs of 2-4
- Spotted Wolf – A variant that spawns in a new location for Wolves – the Savanna Plateau biome, in larger packs of 4-8
- Striped Wolf – A variant that spawns in a new location for Wolves – the Wooded Badlands biome, in larger packs of 4-8
- Snowy Wolf – A variant that spawns in the Grove biome. This lone Wolf is a rare type, as it always walks alone
When summoned in other ways (e.g. using the Spawn Egg or using the summon command), the variant selection follows the natural spawning biome rules with the following extensions:
- Rusty Wolf: will be selected in all Jungle-like biomes, including Jungle and Bamboo Jungle Biomes
- Spotted Wolf: will be selected in all Savanna-like biomes, including Savanna and Windswept Savanna Biomes
- Striped Wolf: will be selected in all Badlands-like biomes, including Badlands and Eroded Badlands Biomes

UI Updates
The UI has been updated to sport a fresher look and to be more consistent when it comes to the layout of different UI elements, all while retaining the essence and feel of the old screens.
- The menu background dirt texture has been replaced by a darkened background
- The dirt background can be restored by using the built-in Programmer Art Resource Pack
- Outside the game, the main menu panorama is displayed behind all screens
- In the game, the world will be visible behind all screens
- Paired with the darkened background is a blur
- The strength of the blur can be configured in Video Settings and Accessibility Settings
- In-game screens such as containers and books are not affected by these changes
- Screen elements such as titles and buttons are positioned more consistently across different screens
- The World Backups screen and the Players screen in the Realms menu have been updated

Spawn Chunk Changes
- The size of the spawn chunks changed from a radius of 10 (19×19 entity-ticking chunks) to a radius of 2 (3×3 entity-ticking chunks)
- This was done to reduce loading times, as well as memory and CPU usage
- We opted to not fully remove spawn chunks to allow players who currently utilize this functionality to continue to do so
- Added a new gamerule spawnChunkRadius to set the size of the spawn chunks
- Possible values are 0 to 32, where 0 completely disables the spawn chunks and 10 is equivalent to the functionality before this change
- Default value is 2, equivalent to 3×3 entity ticking chunks
- Note that setting this to a high value might require allocating more memory for the game in the Launcher
Tamed Wolves Health and Damage
- Tamed Wolves now have 40 health points (20 hearts) instead of 20 health points (10 hearts)
- They no longer take half of the damage from most environmental sources like they used to do
- In most cases, this change will make no difference given the health boost, but they can now withstand more damage from players and arrows
- Feeding a Wolf now heals twice as many health points
Minor Tweaks to Blocks, Items and Entities
- Renamed scutes that drop from Turtles to Turtle Scutes
- Added unique sounds for Cobwebs
- Enchantments on Items are now always listed in the same order in tooltips, regardless of how they were added to those items
- Adjusted flying behaviour for Bees and Parrot to keep them from overshooting their position when flying up and down
- Llamas and Shulkers are no longer able to destroy Armor Stands
- Status effect particle colors are no longer blended into one particle color

- Ctrl+Picking a renamed block (such as a Chest) in Creative Mode will now give a renamed item
- Ctrl+Picking a block no longer lists “(+NBT)” in the item tooltip
Accessibility
- The default focus is now always set when entering or exiting any menu while navigating using tab or arrow keys
- Added a new accessibility option to control the strength of the background blur when a menu is open
Japanese Font Variants
- A new option has been added to select Japanese variants for some CJK characters
- Replacement glyphs come from the Japanese version of the Unifont font
- The new option is included in a new “Font Settings” menu, accessible from the “Language” menu
- The default value of this option is based on the system locale language setting
- The “Force Unicode” button has been moved to “Font Settings”
Performance Improvements
- Improved Hopper performance
- Hoppers will no longer try to pick up item entities if there is a full block placed above it
- Beehives and Bee Nests are exempt from this
- This does not affect Minecarts with Hoppers
- Reduced time needed to generate Explorer Maps to Buried Treasures
Saving and Loading Improvements
- In Singleplayer, when errors occur during loading or saving of chunks, a warning will be shown in a toast
- Trying to join a Singleplayer world with less than 64 MB free disk space will show a warning screen

Mace
- A new heavy weapon to smash your enemies!
- Can be crafted with a Breeze Rod and a Heavy Core
- Leverage the weight of this new weapon to deal additional damage the farther you fall before hitting your target
- Try it out by jumping down toward your target, and hit them before you hit the ground
- Successfully striking a target in this way will reset all vertical momentum and negate any fall-damage accumulated from the fall
- Other entities near the struck enemy will be knocked back by the immense force of the Mace
- Using a Mace will decrease its durability like any other weapon; repair it with Breeze Rods at an anvil
- Players can use a Mace in combination with Wind Charges to launch up and deliver devastating smash attacks on their enemies
- The baseline additional damage dealt by the Mace smash attack is 3 (1.5 hearts) per fallen block
- These existing enchantments can be applied to the Mace:
- Mending
- Unbreaking
- Smite
- Bane of Arthropods
- Fire Aspect
- Curse of Vanishing
- Three new enchantments have been introduced that are unique to the Mace:
- Density:
- Common Enchantment, accessible in the Enchanting Table and on Enchanted Books in loot
- Has 5 levels
- Maces enchanted with Density do more damage per fallen block per Density level
- Damage dealt per fallen block is increased by 1 per level of Density
- Breach:
- Rare Enchantment, accessible in the Enchanting Table and on Enchanted Books in loot
- Has 4 levels
- Maces enchanted with Breach reduce the effectiveness of armor on the target
- The effectiveness of the armor is reduced by 15% per Breach level
- Wind Burst:
- Unique enchantment which can only be found in Ominous Vaults
- Has 3 levels
- Maces enchanted with Wind Burst will emit a Wind Burst upon hitting an enemy, launching the attacker upward and enabling the linking of smash attacks one after the other
- Each level will bounce the attacker higher up in the air
- Density:
Heavy Core
- A mysterious, dense block which can be combined with a Breeze Rod to craft a brand-new weapon: the Mace!
Breeze Rod
- An item dropped by the Breeze that can be crafted into 4 Wind Charges, or used with the Heavy Core to craft the Mace
Breeze
- Now drops 1-2 Breeze Rods when killed by a player
- The number of Breeze Rods dropped is affected by looting enchantments
- Added new sound effects, as well as tweaked existing sounds
- Breeze now deflects all projectiles
- Deflected projectiles now deflect in the direction of the shooter
- Breeze is now aggressive toward Iron Golems
- Breeze no longer retaliates against attacks from the following mobs: Skeletons, Strays, Zombies, Husks, Spiders, Cave Spiders, Slimes
- The above mobs will not retaliate when hurt by the Breeze’s Wind Charge Projectile
- Updated the model, texture, and animation of the Wind Charge projectile to give it a more dynamic look and feel
Wind Charge
- Become the Breeze! Using a Wind Charge item will fire off a Wind Charge projectile similar to the Breeze’s
- The Wind Charge can be used to launch entities away from the impact of the Wind Burst
- Players can also use Wind Charges to propel themselves high into the air
- A Wind Charge fired by a player will grant 10% more knockback than a Breeze’s, but have a much smaller area of impact
- Just like the projectile fired by the Breeze, Wind Charges fired by the player also deal damage if they hit an entity directly
- There is a half-second cooldown after each use
- Wind Charges can be fired from a dispenser
- Players that launch themselves with a Wind Charge only accumulate fall damage below the y-level of where they collided with the Wind Burst
- This means, for example, if a player uses a Wind Charge at y64 to launch themselves 9 blocks into the air, and they land back where they started at y64, they will take 0 damage.
Trial Spawner

- Making it Ominous this way will bypass the cooldown

- Very commonly spawn mobs with equipment if they can wear it
- The equipment these mobs wear have Armor Trims applied from the Trial Chambers

- Based on their location, spawners in an area will select a random set of projectiles to spawn
- These projectiles will always include a single type of Lingering Potion from a set of possible effects
- Becoming an Ominous Trial Spawner will despawn any existing mobs it spawned and reset its challenge
- It will stay Ominous until it has been defeated and its cooldown has finished
- When defeated, it will eject a different set of loot compared to normal Trial Spawners
Ominous Trial Key
- A new variant of the Trial Key which can only be obtained by defeating an Ominous Trial Spawner
