    Yup, they could have just made wolf armor follow the same system as horse armor. But they had to add an all new system to further complicate the game.

    They did add a bunch of wolf variants, like cats have, so that’s cool.

      Right, I even forgot about horse armor. That’s been in there for a while, but I’d remove that item, too. I have been doing Minetest, so that’s probably where all the opinions come from. 😅

        Seems like you’re some kind of purest…go back to the Alpha versions? Which, they actually make really easy.

        Personally I like features that provide a new purpose and build off of existing systems. Horse armor is a a natural progression for protecting your horse. Its mirrors the player armor system with materials (leather to diamond). Wolf armor breaks the mold, it could mimic player/horse armor in mechanics and material progression, but instead it comes from armodillo scales with seemingly no way to upgrade. They even copied the ability to dye the armor - they probably copy pasted the code for leather and made a new redundant item.
