23w51a is the first snapshot for Java Edition 1.20.5, released on December 18, 2023,[1] which adds armadillos and wolf armor along with many bug fixes.

Additions

Items

Armadillo scute

Spawn egg

Wolf armor

  • Crafted with 6 armadillo scutes in a harness shape.
  • Protects wolves from damage.
  • Using wolf armor on an adult tamed wolf equips the armor on the wolf, and using shears drops the armor.
    • Only a wolf's owner can put on / shear off wolf armor. That also excludes dispensers.
  • If a wolf dies while wearing armor, it drops the armor.

Mobs

Armadillo

  • The winner of Minecraft Live 2023's Mob Vote.
  • A passive mob that spawns in savanna biomes with the same frequency as chickens and pigs.
  • Has 12HP♥ × 6 health points.
  • Can drop armadillo scutes either periodically or when brushed, but drops no loot when killed.
    • Armadillos drop scutes at around the same rate as chickens lay eggs.
    • Brushing takes some durability from the brush.
  • Can be bred with spider eyes.
  • If an armadillo detects a threat, it rolls up.
    • Threats include:
      • A player sprinting.
      • A player in a vehicle or mounted.
      • Undead mobs.
    • Special cases where an armadillo don't roll up include when it is:
      • Fleeing.
      • In water or in the air.
      • On a leash.
    • When an armadillo is rolled up it cannot walk nor eat, and isn't be tempted by food.
    • While rolled up, armadillos continuously scan for threats. If no threats are detected for 3 seconds (60 ticks), they unroll.

General

Attributes

  • Added the generic.scale attribute.
    • Allows changing the size of any mob to anywhere between 0.0625 and 16 times their default size.
  • Added the generic.step_height attribute.
    • Determines the max height in blocks where a mob can walk above without jumping.
    • Default is 0.6, and the valid range is from 0 to 10.
  • Added the generic.block_interaction_range and generic.entity_interaction_range attributes.
    • Determines the maximum range a player can interact with blocks and entities, respectively.
    • They both range between 0 and 64, with the default value being 4.5 for blocks and 3 for entities.

Trivia

  • 23w51a, along with 23w51b, was released on the latest calendar date of all snapshots, on December 18. It beats 15w51a and 15w51b which were released on December 17.
