Use it on a block to revive your wolf. No more needing to leave your pets at home for safety.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Bonding that matters**: Pet, scratch, and interact (sneak + right-click with an empty hand) with visible progress and affectionate feedback.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Unique companions**: Randomized stats (health, attack, speed, gift chance, wander range), class (Hunter\/Gatherer), and optional gender.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Roles with real behavior**: Hunters gift items after kills; Gatherers dig up gifts and deliver them to you.<br \/>\n&#8211; **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.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Multiplayer friendly**: Optional friendly-fire protection and owner-only breeding.<\/p>\n<p>## How It Works<br \/>\n&#8211; **Automatic upgrade**: Vanilla wolves become Improved Wolves (keeps name, variant, owner, and collar color).<br \/>\n&#8211; **Custom taming**: Use **Ancient Bones**. They drop from skeletons or can be traded from clerics. Vanilla bone taming can be enabled in config.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Ancient Bone bonus**: Use Ancient Bones on tamed wolves to grant them a short random positive effect.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Stat inspection**: Sneak + right-click a tamed wolf with a **Training Stick** to view their full stat sheet.<\/p>\n<p>## Classes &#038; Gifts<br \/>\n&#8211; **Hunter**: Stronger combat focus and gifts triggered by kills.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Gatherer**: Digs up gifts and delivers them when nearby.<\/p>\n<p>## Items<br \/>\n&#8211; **Ancient Bone** (taming + buffs)<br \/>\n&#8211; **Ancient Bone Meal** (applies bone meal multiple times per use)<br \/>\n&#8211; **Training Stick** (stat inspection)<br \/>\n&#8211; **Wolf Collar** (revival)<\/p>\n<p>## Compatibility &#038; Requirements<br \/>\n&#8211; **Loader**: Fabric<br \/>\n&#8211; **Minecraft**: 1.19.2, 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.21, 1.21.4, 1.21.5-1.21.11<br \/>\n&#8211; **Required**: Fabric API, Cloth Config<br \/>\n&#8211; **Optional**: Mod Menu (for in-game config UI)<\/p>\n<p>## Configuration<br \/>\n&#8211; Config file: `config\/cozys-improved-wolves.json`<br \/>\n&#8211; Reload command: `\/reloadcozywolvesconfig` (server operators)<\/p>\n<p>## \u26a0\ufe0f Important: Read Before Installing on Existing Worlds<\/p>\n<p>This mod replaces vanilla wolves with **custom wolf entities** in order to support its features (personality, abilities, respawn system, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>### Uninstall warning<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>### Before uninstalling<\/p>\n<p>* **Back up your world first**<br \/>\n* Do **not** open the world without the mod unless you accept the risk of losing modded wolves<br \/>\n* If you already removed the mod and loaded the world, recovery may only be possible from a **backup**<\/p>\n<p>## Related Mods<\/p>\n<p>Cozy&#8217;s Improved Cats \ud83d\udc31<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A complete upgrade of pet wolves \u2730 Pet wolves have personality, helpful abilities, and can be respawned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":46795,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"cozys-improved-wolves","_minecraft_project_id":"N4PW8UQo","_minecraft_author":"cozycharm","_minecraft_license":"LGPL-3.0-or-later","_minecraft_downloads":16324,"_minecraft_follows":87,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"cozys-improved-wolves.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":14644551,"_minecraft_version_count":33,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T19:52:53.228282Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2024-04-08T01:43:25.967535Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-02-01T01:16:37.489941Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/cozys-improved-wolves","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":46795,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-02T10:15:45+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"71e72b09d5a4f990c5862b3bfc618d75","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[87,97,104,89,137,98,92],"mod_loader":[99,106,100],"minecraft_version":[56,59,36,102,62,37,40,41,38,78,80,81,82],"class_list":["post-46794","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-adventure","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-forge","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-mobs","mod_category-quilt","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-forge","mod_loader-quilt","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
