Cozy's Improved Wolves

Vanilla wolves become Improved Wolves automatically and keep their name, variant and owner collar color. Tamed wolves drop a Wolf Collar when they die, so the owner can revive them with a block and keep the companion. Taming can use Ancient Bones, which skeletons drop and clerics trade, and the vanilla bone taming method can be turned on in the config. Each wolf gets randomized health, attack speed, gift chance and wander range, and can be given the optional Hunter or Gatherer class. Hunters bring gift items back after kills, while Gatherers unearth presents and carry them over to their owner.

The wolves react to weather, time of day and their surroundings, emote to show affection and follow their owner when tempted with food. Players can scratch a pet by sneaking and right-clicking, and the wolf shows its progress and responds warmly. Owner-only breeding and optional friendly-fire protection suit multiplayer worlds. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, and it runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. The Cozy's Improved Cats mod is optional and adds the same kind of companion for cats.
