Wild Wolves
by PizzaEight
Wild Wolves adds hostile wolf packs to the world, with wolf dens in deserts and taigas where players can obtain goat horns and wolf teeth.
What it does
Wolf Attacks spawn at random around a player, with a higher chance on certain nights such as the full moon. When one happens, a sound plays and red text appears above the hotbar. Each attack is led by an Alpha Wolf, which is stronger than the other pack members and drops wolf teeth when killed. Pack members differ in ability depending on the biome where they spawned.
Wolf dens spawn in deserts, old growth taigas and sparse jungles, marked by large bones sticking out of the ground. Inside, players find a few wolves, one Alpha Wolf and some baby wolves that are aggressive toward the player. Some dens also hold suspicious sand and gravel, which contain different items and special goat horns. Tamed wolves gain buffs from wolf teeth, and wolf teeth can repair items or craft tooth traps.
The mod is server required and client optional, so the server must run it while players may leave it out. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 12 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. A data pack build is also available. Wild Wolves can be checked through its public issue tracker.
