What you’ll build

Kit your dog out in armour. You'll follow a recipe at the crafting table, arranging armadillo scutes in the right pattern, then fit the armour on your dog and colour it with dye. Finish with a big reveal of your dog's new look.

Finish line: Your dog is wearing armour you crafted and dyed yourself.

Bonus challenge: Find out where armadillo scutes come from in Survival mode, and what biome armadillos live in.

You’ll need

  • Crafting table
  • Armadillo scutes
  • Dyes
  • Your tamed dog

You choose

  • Armour colour
  • Will your cat get a matching collar colour?
  • How you'll do the big armour reveal

Stuck?

  • Can't find wolf armour or scutes? Make sure your game is updated, as older versions don't have them.
  • Stuck on the pattern? Open the recipe book in the crafting table to see where the scutes go.
  • Only the dog's owner can fit the armour, and it only fits a grown-up tamed wolf, not a puppy.

For grown-ups
