How To Get Armadillo Scutes in Minecraft
The Armadillo, a passive mob introduced in Minecraft's 1.20.5 "Armored Paws" update, inhabits various warm biomes. Its tough scutes are crucial for crafting Wolf Armor. Here's how to acquire them:
Acquiring Armadillo Scutes:
Armadillos are found in groups (two to three) within these biomes: Badlands, Eroded Badlands, Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Windswept Savanna, and Wooded Badlands. Approaching cautiously is key, as they defensively curl into a ball when startled.
Two methods exist for obtaining scutes:
-
Passive Collection: Similar to collecting chicken eggs, an Armadillo sheds a single scute every 5-10 minutes. This requires patience but no tools.
-
Brushing: This popular method utilizes a crafted Brush. A Brush, made with a Feather, Copper Ingot, and Stick (placed centrally in the crafting grid), gently removes one scute per use.
-
Durability: A Java Edition Brush lasts for four uses, while a Bedrock Edition Brush allows five uses before breaking. Damaged Brushes can be repaired using an Anvil, preserving enchantments if present.
-
Enchantments: Brushes can be enchanted with Unbreaking, Mending, and Curse of Vanishing.
-
After carefully approaching an Armadillo (to avoid its defensive roll), use the Brush to collect scutes. The number of crafted Brushes determines the potential scute yield.

Six scutes are needed for a full suit of Wolf Armor, crafted at a Crafting Table. Both methods offer viable ways to obtain Armadillo Scutes for crafting.
Minecraft is currently available.
