Talk:Wolf/Archive 2

Is it known what wolfes drop when killed (if they are able to die)?
 * Unknown at this time. Keep checking Jeb's twitter for answers, or wait until Beta 1.4 releases. --Dark Auk

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?  talk Sandbox  01:54, 20 March 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


 * 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)

Neutral when Tamed?
When you tamed a wolf, then you attack it (with hands as exaple), does it gets untamed and attacks you, does it attack you and stay tamed, or does it gets untamed and do nothing, or it gets passive? Calinou 22:33, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * We dunno yet.-- User Oneshot O.JPG ne shot.   19:44, 21 March 2011.


 * Chances are that your tamed wolf will be loyal to you till death. This is just a guess, though. R ocĸetor talk  22:21, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * If you accidentally hit it while it is tamed then nothing happens. Ffrogman 00:00, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Jeb should have shown it in the video... Useful information. Calinou 22:33, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Lol it would be funny if wild wolves blew up like Creepers R ocĸetor talk  05:45, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

It would be funny to have flying wolves for fighting Ghasts too :D Stop offtopic. Calinou 22:12, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Maybe you can't attack it. JesusChrist666 22:34, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

You've got a point, because it is in fact friendly --BURRITO333 00:21, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Actually, your offtopic idea about flying wolves to fight Ghasts is also a problem. If you melee a Ghast and then your wolf is trying to attack it, and the Ghast floats over an edge.... R ocĸetor talk  05:08, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

That won't happen because wolves don't go through portals to the nether, and they won't teleport to you either.legoking24 14:33, 1 April 2011 (EST)

When you attack a tamed wolf the only thing that happens is the wolf's health goes down. So it remains tamed and does NOT attack back. FLINJAGER123 Talk  22:08, 31 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)

Wolves are dogs?
When wolves are tamed are they going to be called Wolves still or dogs?
 * They've always been called wolves on Notch's blog and the Mojang twitter accounts, so I'm going to assume that dogs are scrapped and replaced with tameable wolves. – ultradude25 ( T at 23:15, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * It was only called dogs by fans. R ocĸetor talk  05:48, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Aggressive wolves
I'm pretty sure there will also be aggressive wolves be showing up, at least, that seems what Jeb meant when he said wolves are mostly neutral. And Notch seems to think the same. So... Vertex 18:19, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Doors
Wolves don't seem to go through open doors. I had a double wooden door open for them to walk into, and they ignored it and tried to walk around. Removing the door seemed to fix the problem, but having a zombie walk into their room isn't exactly the most pleasant of thoughts. Wandering Traveler 17:58, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I recommend to make a "dog-hut" if Notch doesn't ad one. Just make a small House with no door, let them sit in it, and close it up with dirt. Khezu


 * I can confirm that the dogs I've seen won't go through doors. Eggdropsoap 01:34, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Wolves can go through 1x1 holes I believe, and only chickens & wolves at most housing locations can go through those, so you could have a 1x1 hole next to your door for wolves. Richardplex 20:06, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

I have seen my dogs going through double doors when either both or just one is open. You just have to be patient.

Wolf health when tammed
I have discovered whit an map editor that wolfs have 10 heart when tammed

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

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.


 * 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)

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)
 * 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)

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. <font color="Red">R ocĸetor <font color="Black">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'. <font color="Red">R ocĸetor <font color="Black">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)

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)

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

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

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.

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)

Nether?
What happens when you go to the nether with dogs?

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

Wimpering?
I don't know about you guys, but my dogs only wimper in multiplayer when injured. Load them up with meat and they're barkin' 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 wimper when full. Shanesan 03:36, 1 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 wolf jumped right before, adding 1 block of damage. Calinou 20:49, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Wolves are becoming untamed.
I believe it's some kind of glitch, but I noticed that when I got back onto a world where I had tamed a wolf pack of 6, They were no longer tamed, however, they were all still sitting in a group where i left them. Their collars are also gone. - Xexoy2

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 ?

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)
