Resource Armadillo

The mod adds a way to turn ordinary armadillos into resource armadillos. A Roost, fueled by one diamond and one iron scute, converts a regular armadillo into a variant, and special recipes produce diamond, gold and obsidian armadillos. Those variants can then be bred in an armadillo hive, which only allows breeding when it holds at least two armadillo food items such as spider eyes. Baby variants, including a baby netherite armadillo, come from the same process.

The Nest works as a storage unit for armadillos. It picks up armadillos like other containers, and a built-in brush collects scutes left behind by the animals. A Centrifuge converts scutes into essence. Items can be inserted by hand into single slots, or a hopper can fill a whole slot up to 64 items. Recipes for the new blocks can be viewed in JEI or EMI. The mod is client and server, released under the MIT License, and not open source. It is published for NeoForge on 1.21 and 1.21.1, with the latest file 1.0.3-1.21.1 for 1.21.1 dated 2025-07-21.
