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.
  • 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: 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. Vanilla bone taming can be enabled in config.
  • 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.

Classes & Gifts

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