    • Xbox-only: If multiple users are signed into an Xbox, then the users might not be able to post to Realms Stories from that Xbox (unless all users besides the primary user log out).
    • Xbox-only: If multiple users are signed into an Xbox, Realm Events will not be posted, but they will be recorded. If all users but the primary user sign out of Xbox, and the primary user returns to the Minecraft play screen, the Realm Events that were recorded before should get posted.
    • However, the Realm Events may be credited to the wrong user.
    • If users are in split-screen mode, only the primary user will be able to open Realms Stories.

Armadillo

The Armadillo is a new passive mob that:

• Spawns in Savannas and Badlands biomes.
• Drops Armadillo Scutes periodically.
• Drops Armadillo Scutes when brushed.
• Its favorite food is Spider Eyes.
• Armadillo rolls up when it detects a threat such as:
  
  • a sprinting player
  • a player in a vehicle or mounted
  • undead mobs
  • a mob, or a player that has attacked it recently
• It does not roll up when:
  
  • it is fleeing
  • in water
  • in the air or
  • on a leash
• When an Armadillo is rolled up it does not walk, cannot eat, and will not be tempted by food.
  
  • It will continue to scan for threats, occasionally peeking to check the surroundings: if none are detected for 4 seconds, it will unroll.
  • In a rolled up state, its shell will protect it, and reduce the damage dealt to it, even allowing it to fully resist weak attacks.
  • Spiders and Cave Spiders will run away from Armadillos, and only if they are not in a rolled up state.

Armadillo Scutes

• Armadillo Scutes can be used to craft Wolf Armor.
• They are dropped by Armadillos.
• Dispensers can be used to brush Armadillo Scutes off Armadillos.

Wolf Armor

• The Wolf Armor will protect the wolf from most damage sources until the armor loses all durability and breaks.
• Wolf Armor shows signs of increased breakage as durability goes down.
• Players can repair the Wolf Armor with Armadillo Scutes while it is equipped on the Wolf, or on an Anvil using Armadillo Scutes.
• Wolf armor can be dyed in similar fashion to Leather Armor.
• Using Wolf Armor on an adult tamed Wolf will equip the armor on the Wolf.
• Only a Wolf's owner can put a Wolf Armor on their tamed Wolf, and with this in mind; Dispensers cannot put Wolf Armor on wolves.
• Using Shears on a Wolf that is wearing armor will make it drop the armor.
• Only a Wolf's owner can repair a Wolf Armor on a Wolf or shear a Wolf Armor from it, and with this in mind; Dispensers cannot remove Wolf Armor from wolves.
• If a Wolf dies while wearing armor, it will drop the armor.
