Better Wolf Companion Mod

by Sir_Snow

What it does

The mod gives tamed wolves more upkeep and combat behavior. Wolves eat food from the player's inventory, heal faster, and are less exposed to poison and fire. When a wolf is hurt by a player's own attacks it takes no damage, and a wolf that falls into lava or has low health can receive fire resistance, regeneration or a potion. A wolf gains experience from kills and its attack damage rises as it levels up, and the level resets on death. A wolf that dies respawns after sleeping, and a Summoning Whistle calls pet wolves to the player even from awkward spots.

The mod adds a Wolf Bag that gives each pet its own storage, and a wolf armor slot whose items can be kept in the bag. It runs on Fabric, on client and server, and is published for 26.1.2 as the latest file (8.2.0, 2026-05-31). No required dependency is listed for Fabric. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Wolf Bag storage

    A craftable bag gives each tamed wolf a personal inventory for food and items.

  2. Wolf healing and protection

    Wolves eat from the inventory, heal faster and are shielded from poison and fire damage.

  3. Respawn and whistle recall

    Dead wolves respawn after sleeping, and the Summoning Whistle calls pets to the player's side.

  4. Wolf leveling

    Wolves earn experience from kills, grow stronger as they level up, and reset on death.
