Java Edition 1.20.5

1.20.5, the release of Armored Paws, is a game drop for Java Edition released on April 23, 2024.[2] It adds armadillos, wolf armor, new wolf variants, redoes how items store data, along with fixing many bugs. Additionally, it updates the Update 1.21 Experiment, including the addition of the bogged, the vault, breeze rods, wind charges, the mace, and ominous events. This is the first version released in 2024, and the first release version of Java Edition to require a 64-bit operating system and Java 21 or later.[3]

These additions and changes only take effect when the Update 1.21 experimental data pack is enabled, the exception to this is the change to villagers, which takes effect when the "Villager Trade Rebalance" experimental data pack is enabled.
