Hello I need your help can u tell me how to give mobs armor cuz when i drop it and give it to them they dnt pick up

I wasn't aware mobs can use armor. unless you're referring to horses. In that case you walk up to them while riding I believe (no horses in my seed) and open them as if they were a chest lol.

Press the left trigger on them (with either saddle or horse armour) and it opens an inventory. On the top-right, there'll be two (for horse ONLY! Donkeys and mules only have a saddle section) sections for a saddle and armour (iron, gold, diamond). Just put whichever of your choosing in the CORRECT SLOT. That'll help you in battle/escape!

Hope this helped!

some mobs will be able to and others wont. There is a 25% chance that a skeleton or a zombie will pick it up. If one doesnt work, try another!

There are 2 ways to do it on a horse

1. Crouch, Press L2 on the horse and give it the armor

2. Get on the Horse, press triangle and give the armor

BUT they haven't allowed players to give aggressive mobs armor.

The only way to get one is to spawn a mob until you get one or search for one.

Only a small portion of Undead Mobs (besides the Wither Boss) will pick stuff up. On Normal+ they can spawn with armour.

People aren't getting it. I believe he's talking about giving it to hostile mobs such as zombies, skeletons, wither skeletons, and zombie pigmen. if so, there is a 1 in 4 chance that they will pick up your weapons/armour and equip it.
