To be clear, no official source has released these patents as definitively relevant to this case. But they sure look relevant.
Almost literally. They patented:
catching characters in thrown balls
calling on characters by throwing a ball
using captured characters to fight and harvest resources
If you log in to the newest version of Minecraft, you’ll find armadillos all over the savannah!
The ergonomics look great.
The new resource pack features seem really powerful!
