Minecraft 1.20.6 update released! Armored Paws drop! Travel to the Savanna and Badlands biomes and say hello to the endearing Armadillos. Find and befriend eight new Wolf variants and equip your canine companions with dyable armor made from Armadillo Scutes and go adventuring together!
On the technical side, the Armored Paws drop is also introducing a change to how Java Edition spawn chunks work. Making the spawn chunk radius a configurable game rule and decreasing the default value by 98% which will improve significant performance to players!
