Flux's Improved Wolves
by FluxYT
Flux's Improved Wolves changes how tamed wolves fight, dodge and recover through a datapack, so players can run it without installing a loader mod on their own game.
What it does
The mod is a datapack that changes wolf behavior in a world. It adds several optional features: wolves can step out of the way of Creeper blasts, teleport their owner back to safe ground when the owner is in lava, magma or the void, and be calmed by crouching so they stop attacking without being killed. A wolf can also fetch arrows and tridents after a fight, and warn its owner when a hostile mob sneaks close. Wolves sitting near a campfire gain regeneration. Every feature can be switched off.
The datapack is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and also for plugin servers running Paper or Bukkit, which can load datapacks directly. Files cover 1.21.11 and the 26.x line up to 26.3, with 1.3.1-26.3-Modded as the latest build. The author notes that the version range starts at 1.21.11 because command syntax changed in earlier releases, and that this is the first time they have published work of this kind, so bugs and inconsistencies are possible.
Key features
Creeper dodge
Wolves can sidestep Creeper blasts, with a cooldown between each dodge.
Safety net
A wolf teleports its owner back to the last safe block when the owner ends up in lava, magma or the void.
Calmable wolves
Crouching calms a wolf that is attacking, which prevents an unwanted kill.
Barking warning
A wolf glows and barks when a hostile mob tries to sneak behind its owner or is about to attack.
