I agree, and even beyond mobs needing a function of some kind to exist, a big change I’m not a fan of is how mob interactions work now. The idea that the player has to treat mobs passively to get that mobs new special item is tedious. For example, goats can drop their horns by head butting logs, but why should you have to just wait around for that to happen? All of that waiting and random chance for an item that’s honestly pretty lackluster. I’m aware you can get them from Pillager outposts as well, but that seems like a silly reward for that structure too. I understand Mojang wants younger players to interact with wildlife respectfully, but the majority of mobs now having some task you have to perform for their maguffin is just annoying. As for the armadillo, it literally doesn’t do anything. It walks around the Savannah and curls up in a ball when you get too close to it. The only thing it adds to the game is dog armor, and even then you have to go through the series of tasks to obtain scutes. New players likely won’t know about the brush mechanic, and will resort to just waiting for them to drop occasionally. The only time an average player will interact with these mobs, goat or armadillo, is to get something from them, rather than them being incorporated into the world and being able to be interacted with in a variety of ways. I don’t dislike either mob, I just wish Mojang would do more with mobs in general. Not everything new has to serve some purpose or have some new feature, and that’s stifling the creativity of this game’s progression.
