Why Players Install

• Never lose a best friend: Tamed wolves drop a Wolf Collar into their owner's inventory on death. Use it on a block to revive your wolf. No more needing to leave your pets at home for safety.
• Bonding that matters: Pet, scratch, and interact (sneak + right-click with an empty hand) with visible progress and affectionate feedback.
• Unique companions: Randomized stats (health, attack, speed, gift chance, wander range), class (Hunter/Gatherer), and optional gender.
• Roles with real behavior: Hunters gift items after kills; Gatherers dig up gifts and deliver them to you.
• A home of their own: Link your wolf to a Wolf Bed and choose how they spend their day.
• Everyday care: Keep your companion well fed, stock a Wolf Food Bowl, and enjoy a game of fetch with a Rubber Ball.
• Expressive behavior: Wolves emote based on weather, time, and their bond with their owner. They react to the world, teleport smartly, show affection, and follow when tempted with food.
• Multiplayer friendly: Optional friendly-fire protection and owner-only breeding.

How It Works

• Automatic upgrade: By default, vanilla wolves become Improved Wolves (keeps name, variant, owner, and collar color).
• Custom taming: Use Ancient Bones. They drop from skeletons or can be traded from clerics. Nether and End Wolves use them too; Wither Wolves need Ancient Wither Bones. Vanilla bone taming can be enabled in config, but does not bypass a Wither Wolf's special bone requirement.
• Ancient Bone bonus: Use Ancient Bones on tamed wolves to grant them a short random positive effect.
• Stat inspection: Sneak + right-click a tamed wolf with a Training Stick to view their full stat sheet. The Training Stick also links your wolf to a bed.

Classes & Gifts

• Hunter: Stronger combat focus and gifts triggered by kills.
• Gatherer: Digs up gifts and delivers them when nearby.

Care & Breeding

• Everyday meals: Supported raw meat restores 25 hunger instead of healing instantly. Well-fed wolves gradually recover health, and feeding shows their health and hunger using compact icons.
• No wasted dinner: A completely full wolf consumes nothing. Hunger does not deplete while unloaded, Peaceful prevents depletion and starvation, and starvation cannot reduce a wolf below 1 HP.
• Separate breeding treats: Owners offer Wolf Treats to adults at full health with at least 80 hunger. Existing gender and breeding rules still apply. Offering a treat keeps a sitting wolf's sit command.
• A family resemblance: Pups inherit health, attack and speed traits from their parents, with configurable small mutations. Coat and class come from either parent. Inherited traits survive taming; equipment and progression are not inherited.

Beds, Bowls & Home Life

• Wolf Beds: Craft a bed in any of the sixteen wool colors. Use a Training Stick on your bed, then your owned wolf, to link them. Each wolf can have one home, and each bed can belong to one wolf.
• Follow: Accompany you while retaining the home link.
• Stay: Remain at home.
• Wander: Explore the home area and return for occasional naps.
• Guard: Patrol and defend home against eligible hostile monsters. Creepers, bosses, players, allies and neutral animals are excluded by default.
• Your home, your rules: Choose a radius within the server's limits. Manual sitting takes priority over movement, food seeking and fetching.
• Wolf Food Bowls: Hold three slots of supported raw food for automatic meals. Only the placing owner can open a bowl, and only that owner's wolves can eat from it. Eligible dropped food can also provide meals when enabled; hoppers cannot automate bowls.

Playtime & Second Chances

• Fetch with Rubber Balls: Throw a reusable ball for an eligible nearby owned wolf. The first to reach it claims it, carries it back and drops it near you. Sitting, combat, changed commands or losing contact with the owner can interrupt play.
• Wild-pack defense: Direct player attacks on a wild Improved Wolf can rally nearby wild wolves. The default cap is eight recruits; tamed wolves and creative/spectator attackers are excluded.
• Optional bed revival: A valid linked bed can provide another chance when a revival collar is destroyed. This requires collar revival and is disabled by default.
