Wolf Port
by Wolren
Wolf Port replaces the classic wolves in a Minecraft world with the wolf variants added in 24w10a and raises the health of tamed wolves.
What it does
The mod changes only the wolf entity itself: wild wolves take on the nine variants introduced in 24w10a, and tamed wolves gain more health. Nothing else in the game is added or altered, so the rest of vanilla behaves as before. The author describes the aim as making wolves more varied without much interference with vanilla.
Wolf Port is published for Fabric and Quilt across eight release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.20.4, and is open source under the MIT License. Both the client and the server need it. Mods that add wolf variants or use mixins on the wolf class may conflict, while utility mods for wolves are expected to work.
Key features
Nine wolf variants
Wild wolves spawn with the nine variants that arrived in 24w10a, replacing the single classic look.
Tougher tamed wolves
Tamed wolves receive more health than the vanilla value, so they survive longer fights alongside their owners.
Vanilla-focused changes
The mod edits the wolf entity class directly and leaves crafting, armor and other features untouched.
