![Bisect Banner](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EmilsGithub/Clutter-Mod-Repository/refs/heads/main/Images/Bisect%20Banner.png) If you want to start a new server, **Bisect Hosting** is a good place to start! Use the code: [Clutter](https://bisecthosting.com/Clutter) to get **25% off!** # Backported Wolves Since Minecraft recently added more variants of the wolf that has been with us for so long, I figured we shouldn't have to wait until the next update to play with them. With that we have **Backported Wolves**, adding all 8 new variants introduced by Minecraft, for older versions. ![All Wolves](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/bc03c64ba4f5298574df3a6297f15455a3920afd.png) They come in 8 new variants, plus 1 -which is the standard one.\ These are: - Pale Wolf (Default) - Taiga - Woods Wolf - Forest - Ashen Wolf - Snowy Taiga - Black Wolf - Old Growth Pine Taiga - Chestnut Wolf - Old Growth Spruce Taiga - Rusty Wolf - Sparse Jungle - Spotted Wolf - Savanna Plateau - Striped Wolf - Wooded Badlands - Snowy Wolf - Grove They are all tameable and when bred the baby will have the same variant as one of it's parents. **As of 2.0.0**, the sound variants are also added, which are: - Angry - Big - Classic - Cute - Grumpy - Puglin - Sad ## Biome Spawns **As of 1.1.0, all spawns are configurable by making a data pack with biome tags for their variants.** \ **Example:** \ \ **1.18.2> "data/backported_wolves/tags/worldgen/biome/spawns_ashen_wolf.json"** ```json { "values": [ "minecraft:snowy_taiga", "minecraft:desert", "othermod:other_biome" ] } ``` **1.18-1.18.1 "data/backported_wolves/tags/biomes/spawns_ashen_wolf.json"** ```json { "values": [ "minecraft:snowy_taiga", "minecraft:desert", "othermod:other_biome" ] } ``` If multiple variants are added to the same biomes, they all have an equal chance of spawning.
