Frostfire Armadillo

Quickstart

1. In Creative mode, find the Frostfire Armadillo spawn egg in the Spawn Eggs tab and use it on the ground. You can also summon one with /summon frostfire-armadillo-wjdpuics:frostfire_armadillo_wjdpuics.
2. Hold an apple and interact with an untamed armadillo. Each apple is consumed; each attempt has a one-in-three chance to tame it, so try again if it doesn’t work.
3. Once tamed, it follows you and can help in fights. Interact with it using an empty hand to make it sit or stand.

Overview

The Frostfire Armadillo is a tameable companion that can defend its owner and curl into a protective ball when danger is near. It has 12 health points and deals 4 damage with its melee attack.

What It Adds

• Frostfire Armadillo: A tameable mob and its spawn egg.
• Armadillo Scute: An item dropped periodically by adults or obtained by brushing them.

How To Use

• Tame: Feed apples to an untamed armadillo. Each attempt uses one apple and has a one-in-three chance of success.
• Sit or stand: As its owner, interact with it using an empty hand while it is unrolled to toggle sitting. A sitting armadillo stays put until told to stand.
• Fight alongside it: It can attack a creature you attack, and can retaliate against creatures that attack you.
• Roll up: Nearby undead or a nearby non-owner player who is sprinting or riding can trigger its defensive curl. Being attacked by a living creature can also make it roll. While curled, it takes reduced damage from living attackers. It unrolls after danger passes; water interrupts the curl.
• Get scutes: Use a brush on an adult to obtain a scute; each use costs the brush 16 durability. Adults also drop scutes periodically on their own.

Crafting And Obtaining

The spawn egg is available in Creative mode’s Spawn Eggs tab. To give yourself one with commands, use /give @s frostfire-armadillo-wjdpuics:frostfire_armadillo_wjdpuics_spawn_egg. No crafting recipes are provided.

Progression And Strategy

Use two Frostfire Armadillos and feed each spider eyes to breed them. Apples also tempt armadillos, so keep them handy when you want to lead an untamed one. During combat, let your companion engage your targets, and remember that it may curl up around nearby danger.
