Note: The Wolf Armor is still an experimental feature of the Minecraft 1.21 update. Its design and mechanics are subject to change with the final release.  

How to Craft a Wolf/Dog Armor

Similar to player armor, the Wolf Armor gives your wolves extra protection against various attacks and damages. But instead of minerals, you need to get armadillo scutes to craft it. Moreover, these scutes also let you repair the armor if it gets damaged.

Types of Wolf Armor

Even though it is made of scutes, the Wolf Armor is quite similar to the leather armor for players. So, you can use sixteen unique dyes to color them in various hues. Moreover, the game even allows you to mix dyes which gives you the option to create over 12,326,391 combinations.

Though, it's a shame that you cannot expand your options with armor trims in Minecraft. But luckily, dying the wolf armor is enough to make it match most of your style.

Once you have a dye, it's time to dye your wolf armor in Minecraft. Here's how:

1. First, right-click on a crafting table or a Crafter in Minecraft to open it. If you are only using up to three dyes, you can even use your player inventory grid.

2. Then, place your Wolf Armor next to a dye in the crafting grid. The resulting armor will have the same hue as the dye.

3. You can even place multiple dyes at the same time in the grid. This leads to a hue of Wolf Armor that is a mix of the two colors of the dyes.
