  • It would be great if they would use this opportunity to make some other improvements for dogs, maybe better pathfinding, maybe even a set of new dog types with different colors and markings like cats have. And of course it would be fun to be able to dye or trim the dog armor too.

    Personally I wish we could toggle the teleportation function on and off so we don't have to keep them frozen in one spot all the time, and I think kids especially would love to be able to pet them (say by right-clicking while crouching with an empty hand) and get heart particles for that. Lots of possibilities and they do listen to feedback so users should advocate for what they would like to see.


  • I think adults underestimate just how many kids play Minecraft, how much they like the pets and how excited they were about dog armor. So it's not surprising that the armadillo won and I don't think it's worth getting upset about. That's just how voting works, someone wins and someone loses. I was just glad that I was finally able to vote at all starting last year, since before that you had to have a Twitter account to vote which left so many people out.

    I do agree that we aren't given enough information about each one to make a proper decision on which to vote for, but that also gives them flexibility on how it gets implemented, allowing user feedback to have an influence.

    To be considered Vanilla means out of the box without mods, so definitely nothing that requires anything like Optifine, Forge, or Fabric, because then you are running the game through their interface instead of Mojang’s.

    However, out of the box does have a built-in interface already included for letting you use and manage texture packs (now called resource packs), so IMO those would still count as being vanilla because you are still doing everything through Mojang’s installation. Just like using a customized skin. That’s how I would define it.

    eta: When it comes to data packs, I would say those would not count as vanilla because you can change loot tables and such, which is definitely not playing it as designed.
