The first new Minecraft snapshot of 2024 has arrived, and it brings one of the most requested community changes. It implements changes to experimental features like Breeze and villager rebalancing, but it also includes a much-requested change to the armadillo mob. So with that said, let's cover all the new features added in Minecraft snapshot 24W03A.
Minecraft 1.20.5 Snapshot 24W03A | Spawn Chunks Game Rule | Armadillos & Wolf New look!
Yes, while the original armadillo design was cute in its own ways, it was also quite strange to look at. Many people have noticed this and pointed it out to the developers since the first release of the armadillo. Fortunately, Mojang listened to this feedback, and voila, a new design for the armadillo has arrived in Minecraft snapshot 24W03A!
This one has eyes on the side instead of on the forehead. It also has a slightly different base color which 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, as armadillo skins have also been tweaked a bit to match the new armadillo colors.
In addition to the Savanna biome, this cute critter will also spawn in the Badlands biome, making it the only passive mob you can find there. Also, due to the fact that armadillos love to devour spider eyes for lunch, these arachnids are now afraid of them.
