Wolf Armor was added to Minecraft as part of the 1.20.5 Armored Paws update. I will show you how to create and dye it to keep your precious dogs safe and stylish at the same time.
How to make Wolf Armor in Minecraft
Wolf Armor is crafted using six Scoots collected from Armadillos and a crafting table. Start by placing one Scute in the upper left corner of the art table. Fill the middle row with Scutes, then place one Scute in the lower left corner and the last one in the lower right corner. This will give you one piece of Wolf Armor.
How to dye Wolf Armor in Minecraft
Wolf Armor can be colored using any dye. Place the Wolf Armor and one piece of dye on a crafting table to dye the armor.
You can use this to mark your favorite puppies, show dogs destined for different positions, or turn your wolf pack into a rainbow of colors.

What does Wolf Armor do in Minecraft?
Wolf Armor can be placed on any tamed adult dog by interacting with them while holding the armor. It can only be placed by the person who tamed the dog and cannot be placed on babies.
Wolf Armor will protect the wolf it's on from most damage until the armor itself breaks. The armor will change appearance as the wolf takes more damage. The armor has four stages of durability – new, slightly damaged, moderately damaged, and extremely damaged.
If you don't repair the armor with Scutes during the final stage, the armor will break completely. The amount of Scutes needed to repair it will depend on how damaged it is. Interact with the dog's armor while holding Scute to repair it.
Wolf Armor can be removed by using clippers on the dog wearing it.
