RevampedWolf
by baguchi
With RevampedWolf installed, wild wolves gain a pack leader that other wolves follow, and they hunt animals only when hungry.
What it does
RevampedWolf changes how the wolf mob behaves and fights. Wild wolves organize around a pack leader, and the rest of the pack follows it. Wolves attack animals only while they are hungry, can pick food items off the ground to eat, and use a new hunting routine instead of the vanilla one.
Wolves also get new armor types, and the wolf armor was redrawn with its own textures and a closer match to vanilla styling. Healing is handled through saturation: meat raises a wolf's saturation the way it raises a player's, and taking damage spends that saturation to restore health. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge on game versions 1.20.1 – 26.2. It needs both sides, so the server and every player install it.
Key features
Pack leader behavior
Wild wolves follow a pack leader, so groups move together instead of wandering alone.
Hunger-driven hunting
Wolves only attack animals when they are hungry, and they scavenge dropped food to eat.
Saturation healing
Meat raises wolf saturation, and damage consumes it to heal the wolf, mirroring how the player's food bar works.
New wolf armor
Additional armor types for wolves, with redrawn textures and a more vanilla look.

Use cases
Survival wolf packs
Players who keep tamed wolves can give them new armor and rely on the saturation system for healing during fights.
Wild wolf encounters
Players exploring biomes meet wolves that hunt and move as packs instead of behaving as in vanilla.
Who it’s for: Players who want more depth from wolves, and server owners who want wolves to behave differently. Both sides need the mod, so it fits modded servers that have every player install it.
