Wolves Hunt Enemies
Wolves Hunt Enemies makes tamed wolves attack hostile mobs near them without waiting for the player to give an order.
What it does
Wolves that are nearby start attacking hostile mobs on their own, so a player does not have to engage a target first. The attack radius, chase distance and whether wolves spread across several targets can be set in the config file. Each mob type, including skeletons, zombies and spiders, can take a configured default behavior.
Loot and experience left behind by enemies that wolves kill can be collected by the wolves themselves, so a pack can help gather drops. The config screen can be opened through Mod Menu, or by running the wolves-hunt-enemies config command in chat. Installation needs Fabric API and Cloth Config API, while Mod Menu is optional. The mod runs on the server, and players only need it when they want the client-side config screen.
Files target 26.1 – 26.2 on Fabric, with four release versions in that range and 1.0.1+26.2 as the latest file for 26.2. It was first published on 2026-06-29 and last updated on 2026-07-06. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
