Drops
Is it known what wolfes drop when killed (if they are able to die)? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Khezu (Talk 10:27, 19 March 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * Unknown at this time. Keep checking Jeb's twitter for answers, or wait until Beta 1.4 releases. --Dark Auk –The preceding undated comment was added on 15:38, 19 March 2011. Please sign your posts with

Update (please reply)
I have MineCraft Beta 1.3_01 in which i got only a few weeks ago I havent updated yet. In the Beta 1.4 update, will it update when i log in the next time I connect to the internet? If so, will the writing at the top left on the menu say 'Minecraft Beta 1.4'? If you know or have updated a MineCraft game, please respond.

Also, I bet a bed or kennel will be made for wolves. Because if you go to sleep on a bed what will happen to the wolf? R0cketor talk Sandbox  01:54, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Nether?
What happens when you go to the nether with dogs? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tygor97 (Talk 01:53, 1 April 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * The dogs don't go into the nether. They wait for you in the normal world. LaughLax 02:33, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * They don't seem to transport to you once you've come out of the Nether either, I've noticed. Instead they wait at the portal you used to enter the Nether. --Alassieth 21:08, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Minecraft Beta 1.4 has not released yet, and no release date is set as of today (March 19, 2011). But as long as you are connected to the Internet, it should update automatically. --Dark Auk –The preceding undated comment was added on 02:38, 20 March 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * Thank you. R ocĸetor talk  06:16, 20 March 2011 (UTC)


 * EDIT: There's no 'wolf' file in here. Will I get the texture pack with it, or will the update include it automatically? Or worse come to worst, will it cost money? R ocĸetor talk  08:18, 21 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Everything will be updated, including the texture files, sounds (if needed) and everything else. You won't have to pay a thing!--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  08:32, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Spawning
They'll probably not, but will wild wolves spawn in Peaceful? And in SMP, when you log off, what will happen to the Wolf? Will it also disappear? Or, will it be wolves at SMP at all? Tawg 08:56, 23 March 2011 (UTC)


 * They're not released yet, how do you expect us to know? – ultradude25 ( T at 09:21, 23 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Wolves probably won't spawn on peaceful, because they're neutral (like zombie pigmen). And if there's wolves in SMP they'll probably disappear when you log out and reappear when you log on again. I'm just guessing, though. JesusChrist666 12:17, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * They will work in peaceful, not sure if they will actually spawn in peaceful. – ultradude25 ( T at 13:13, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * This is a guess, but I bet wolves will spawn, however they will not attack you even in provoked, making them passive. R ocĸetor talk  05:10, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * As of Beta 1.4 wolves spawn on Peaceful difficulty and attack if provoked. Calinou 20:30, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * In multiplayer, when a player logs out and has tame wolves, other players still logged on can still see the wolves, even if they log off and back on. Insanity 18:14, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I've found a pack of Wolves spawning on peaceful, though I can't rember if it was on 1.4 as Calinou said. Still it might of been a glitch if it was 1.3.Redstonediamond 00:23, 7 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Wolves spawn on peaceful in SMP. I haven't bothered checking if they do so on SSP, but there's no reason it'd be any different (mob spawning shouldn't be affected to that level by the differences between SSP and SMP). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:11, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Wolf health when tammed
I have discovered whit an map editor that wolfs have 10 heart when tammed –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ferry (Talk 18:46, 31 March 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * WITH A MAP EDITOR?! Oh please. --Sade1212 20:05, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Notice that half a heart is a value of 1, so a value of 10 represents 5 hearts. You forgot to convert the value, my friend. And you also forgot to sign your post >_> LB 01:08, 3 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Wolves actually DO have 10 hearts btw.

So yes, he was correct.

Wolves health bar
Can you check his health by looking at its tail?

I check Minecraft - Wolves and Cookies! (1.4 Beta Update!) From the Yogscast

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ozdADY1NzvM#t=341s Go to 5:41

Notice the wolves tail, does it go down the more he gets hurt?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ozdADY1NzvM#t=346s At 5:46

You can see its tail is down after he got attacked. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Finniespin (Talk 20:15, 31 March 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * Yes, the Wolves' tail is the indicator for their health IPeer 20:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I actually think that the wolf's tail angle in degrees say how many percent health the wolf has. Untamed wolves have tail at 50°, fully heathy tamed dogs have their tail at 100°. I don¨t have any source for this, It's just my obervation and it looks like it matches. --Nagidal 18:00, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Anyone know how much a porkchop heals a wolf? You'd think it'd be the same (1 1/2 hearts) but sometimes I wonder if it's less or more. BlazinH 18:53, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

spiders attack wolves?
I realised that despite what the wiki says about mobs not attacking wolves, I lost a wolf when i got my little pets to attack a spider. Just an observation... Lethman 20:26, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * they do attack passive mobs, so maybe it attacked a spider, and the spider's ai of attacking when it is attacked caused it to fight back? Raiu tree 20:31, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * You've misinterpreted what it says. Hostile mobs will not actively attack wolves like they do the player, but if a wolf makes contact with a hostile mob while attacking it, that contact will deal damage to the wolf. Otherwise they'd be invincible to everything but natural causes and the player, which would be pointless. It merely is stating that the a mob will not attack a wolf instead of the player. -TheWyo 14:50, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Not entirely correct. Hostile mobs attack either the player or the last thing to attack them (including other hostile mobs).  Once a tamed wolf attacks a mob, said mob will switch to attacking the wolf.  They'd also still be able to be damaged by skeleton arrows and creeper explosions even if they were immune to the touch damage of spiders and zombies.  Markus 08:13, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Wolf Health when Untamed
It takes eight hits with your bare hands to kill an untamed wolf. This means that a wolf has 4 hearts of health when untamed, right? --Mr. Fist 20:39, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Yup. I'll add that. R ocĸetor talk  20:42, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Older seeds
Do I have to start a new world? Because I haven't spotted any wolves. My seed is 'Dead Mau5'. R ocĸetor talk  20:50, 31 ; March 2011 (UTC)

I can't think of any reason why you'd need a new world to find wolves. Just have patience, they're semi-rare. LaughLax 22:25, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I found a group of 3 wolves outside my shelter in an existing world on the second day after patching. So no, you don't need to create a new save to find them. LLamaBoy 23:24, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks. R ocĸetor talk  05:04, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * A good seed I found was "gaia" as you will spawn really close to a river where lots of wolfs spawn every time 187.10.101.17 01:37, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Pork Chops/Luring
"[Health] can be restored with raw pork (which can also be used for luring them) and other foods." -I don't dispute the healing, but can anyone confirm 'luring' them? LaughLax 22:02, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Holding a Raw Porkchop when having a tamed wolf makes it run a bit faster (13%). C ali <font color="Purple">nou - talk × contribs » 19:02, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Wolves stop sitting...
I've noticed that wolves stop sitting and start attacking a mob if it hurts the player that tamed them. I was wondering if that should be added or not, didn't want to make the change until allowed. :p Kida 22:51, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Food Restoration/Damaging Effects
Can anyone confirm bread does actually harm tamed wolves? If not then it should be removed from the article. Also, does anyone know if different foods have stronger or weaker healing when used on dogs? --zeHAX –The preceding undated comment was added on 23:16, 31 March 2011. Please sign your posts with

I thought that sounded odd too. i just tried it out on my wolves and it doesn't hurt them, in fact i don't even think they eat it. I'm taking that sentence out --Deanm1134 14:32, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Too Many Videos
There are way to many videos on this page that are useless and (More likely than not) self-inserts for views. This page does not need any videos besides the original Jeb one. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Moxxy (Talk 00:05, 1 April 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * I just added a short video containing the basics and how to build a kennel(theres no others about this).I believe can be helpfull.SniperCharlie 20:11, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Whimpering?
I don't know about you guys, but my dogs only whimper in multiplayer when injured. Load them up with meat and they're barking like crazy. Once they start sitting when you feed them (or stand if they're sitting) then they are full. And barking. They don't whimper when full. Shanesan 03:36, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * My wolves constantly whimper on multiplayer no matter how much health they have. I don't know if it's a glitch or not but it's annoying as heck. :/ Insanity 18:19, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Wolf falling damage
i think wolves take more falling damage than the player i jumped off a small cliff and didnt get hurt but the wolf did –The preceding unsigned comment was added by MrWunderful (Talk 16:56, 1 April 2011. Please sign your posts with

The wolf jumped right before, adding 1 block of damage. Calinou 20:49, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

wolf returning to you when you die
I'd just like to confirm that wolves do return to you after you've died. I've run back to my death point (a 5 minute run normally, but I got lost and somehow ran back to my spawn like an idiot, so it took 10), thus at least a chunk away, probably 2-3, with 2 sitting wolves and 2 normal wolves at my death point at point of death. sitting wolves were still there, as I got within a vicinity of where I died all 3 of my non-sitting tamed wolves teleported to me. Richardplex 20:01, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Fast Spawning
I have an Underground Room, 7x20 or something with grass on the ground for mob-spawning, wolfes spawn there a lot, prob. more than 20 in 10 minutes. Someone experienced the same ? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hausser (Talk 19:04, 2 April 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * I've had wolves spawn underground and someone I know has had wolves spawn in a hut he made. It seems a bit random when they spawn, but they appear to spawn eventually on grassy, lit areas. We also had trees planted, but I'm not sure if thats important. Also, remember signatures.--Zerobot 16:48, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Darn tootin' they can climb ladders!
I created a simple pen, with the only way out being a ladder. I climbed said ladder and one of my wolves climbed right behind me. We watched as he jumped up (seeming to float in the air next to the ladder), then stepped onto the ground next to me.

I didn't want to edit the entry without saying this first, but they can certainly climb a two-block-tall ladder. Xebico 20:36, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That was the wolf teleporting to you. Drenay 20:41, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Pretty sure all mobs can climb ladders if their pathfinding happens to bump them into one, they won't purposely do it though. – ultradude25 ( T at 22:55, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually what is happening is that they are getting pushed onto the ladder - wolves and certain other mobs that can't climb ladders can still be pushed up ladders by players or other mobs. LB 01:16, 3 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Like a laddergoat? If what you say is true, then how did his wolf climb a ladder? Was he pushing it? I think it is a good thing that they can climb ladders incase they fall down a pit and survive and you don't feel like building stairs all the way back up.Snakefrog 19:17, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Bows and Wolves
I tried it out, but Wolves in my world will not attack any passive mobs I attack with a bow, no matter the range. It appears that the will only attack whatever attacks you or what you hit with a melee attack. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chrisanben (Talk 03:51, 3 April 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * That's already in the page. It only says that they will attack you if you hit your self with an arrow. Try to remember a signature next time. --Deanm1134 14:27, 3 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Added his signature for him. Next time put it in yourself, Chrisanben, without having others do it for you. - Asterick6 08:13, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Wolves vs Boat
When sailing, my wolves seem to keep destroying my boat. Is anyone else finding this? --Alassieth 20:39, 3 April 2011 (UTC)


 * They're rebel pirates! Kill them! -- Yes, I've been having this problem as well. Is it already in the bugs section of version history? --<font color="Red">R ocĸetor <font color="Black">talk  06:30, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Would it really be considered a Bug? It seems to be a natural part of their AI. (Following the player, and wander when close) Would it be better in Trivia? Croben 22:58, 4 April 2011 (UTC)


 * It just seems silly to have an animal that you can tame to follow you but destroys your items (Unless they're puppies! :D). So if you're travelling long distances you have to leave your wolves behind. If you get hurt hurt while away then they'll come and save you, but you'll have to leave them behind again to get home. --Alassieth 21:25, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Bug with arrows
Hello I've found some kind of glitch with a tamed wolf. Take a bow and arrows with you. And go outside, with your wolf , then hit yourself with an arrow , by shooting vertically. The wolf will now consider you as a enemy and will attack you.

It's only a topic to ask you if we have to include it in "trivia"

PS: Excuse me for my bad English. I'm french. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pesudozzz (Talk 21:20, 3 April 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * It's already mentioned in Taming, Behaviour and Trivia so I don't think we need another mention. Quoted from Taming: "Tame wolves will attack you if you get one of your own arrows to hit you."--Alassieth 21:51, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
