Naming a Wolf

This is from the "Changes" section:

"Naming a tamed wolf 'Mars' will give it a unique texture."

I have no idea where this came from. This certainly doesn't seem to be the case on my end, and I've seen absolutely no one online mention this. Can anyone else confirm?

I can confirm. If you're in the snapshot, you actually can't tame a wolf normally (at least, as far as I know), and so to get a tame wolf with the special texture, just use a command like this:

/summon wolf ~ ~1 ~ {Owner:<Your Username Here>,CustomName:"\"Mars\""}

If it works the wolf should look like a Great Dane or something.Axonjaxon (talk) 02:44, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Interesting. Do you have any idea what this could be a reference to? -RySonic (talk) 02:59, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

My guess would be it's the name of a Minecraft employee's dog, but that's just speculation and shouldn't be on the page.Axonjaxon (talk) 15:27, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
