Armadillos Drop Scute

by Jackbusters

Armadillos Drop Scute changes the loot table of armadillos so each one drops an Armadillo Scute when it dies.

What it does

Killed armadillos leave one Armadillo Scute behind. The mod also changes how the armadillo loot system behaves, bringing it closer to the way sheep handle drops, and it removes the brush's ability to harvest scutes from armadillos. Turtles also drop scutes in this mod's changes.

The mod uses Fabric API to keep its loot modifications compatible with other mods. It runs on the client and the server, so both need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.20.5 – 1.21.5, with 1.5 for 1.21.5 as the latest file on each loader. Snapshot builds are also published.

Key features

  1. One scute per armadillo

    Each armadillo drops one Armadillo Scute on death, instead of the vanilla drop chance.

  2. Sheep-like loot behavior

    The armadillo loot system is reworked to resemble how sheep drops are handled.

  3. Brush harvest removed

    The brush can no longer harvest Armadillo Scute from armadillos, so scutes come only from kills.

What the author says

Makes Armadillos drop 1 Armadillo Scute upon death. This change makes armadillos' loot system comparable to sheep. Killing a sheep grants 1 wool, but shearing it is more profitable.
