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.
Definitely. When I played Minecraft as a kid I made a basic hut and got like 10 dogs all with different coloured ¿“necklaces”? (I completely lost the word for it) and matching carpet bed. Then I run around with my dogs and try to get a bunch of cats and then I give all of them a bed, in the house. I also worked ob collecting every sheep and mushroom cows.
Kid me would have been all over dog armour. Like it’s armour for the dogs and maybe it can be coloured to match them.
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 really wish I could make my mobs just roam an area like the Golems do, would help so much to liven up builds. The teleporting mechanic makes sense so you don’t lose mobs, but it just ruins my immersion when I see a mob is just teleporting (maybe they make it teleport when you aren’t looking at it)
Remember the time they only had red ocollars, or when they weren’t even in the game. Trying to find then in the forest with friends, racing so you can say you had the first one on the day of the update.
Man, is this the feeling of being old? I’m not even that old, im in my 20’s. That kinda sucks.
If twitter accounts were still required to vote, Crab would’ve had better chances of winning. It would’ve filtered a lot of young players and crab claw seemed like the better choice for experienced players.
This year I decided to let my 8 yrs old nephew decide for both of us and as you said he picked the dog armor without hesitation.
The slightly irritating thing is that dog armour won’t actually do anything because pretty much every dog that dies does so because it walks into an arrow I’m firing, or it falls into lava or falls off a cliff. It’s very very rarely due to combat action.

I agree on all the points, especially the petting any game automatically gets better by allowing animals to be petted.
The word you were looking for is “collar”
Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for.
