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. ## Items - **Ancient Bone** (taming + buffs) - **Ancient Bone Meal** (applies bone meal multiple times per use) - **Training Stick** (stat inspection) - **Wolf Collar** (revival) ## Compatibility & Requirements - **Loader**: Fabric - **Minecraft**: 1.19.2, 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.21, 1.21.4, 1.21.5-1.21.11 - **Required**: Fabric API, Cloth Config - **Optional**: Mod Menu (for in-game config UI) ## Configuration - Config file: `config/cozys-improved-wolves.json` - Reload command: `/reloadcozywolvesconfig` (server operators) ## ⚠️ Important: Read Before Installing on Existing Worlds This mod replaces vanilla wolves with **custom wolf entities** in order to support its features (personality, abilities, respawn system, etc.). ### Uninstall warning If you **remove this mod** and then load your world, wolves that were converted/managed by this mod may **disappear permanently** because the custom entity no longer exists without the mod installed. ### Before uninstalling * **Back up your world first** * Do **not** open the world without the mod unless you accept the risk of losing modded wolves * If you already removed the mod and loaded the world, recovery may only be possible from a **backup** ## Related Mods [Cozy's Improved Cats 🐱](https://modrinth.com/mod/cozys-improved-cats)
