| Type: | Neutral |
| Drops: | Exp |
Wolves are neutral mobs that can be tamed into dogs.
Spawning
Wolves only spawn in the day time on grass blocks.
Drops
The wolf drops nothing but a small amount of xp when killed by the player. This, and the danger that comes with damaging wolves, makes them rarely hunted by players.
Behavior
Wolves are neutral mobs. If left alone, they will wander around, jump in place and yip. Wolves can jump two blocks high. If there is a sheep or rabbit nearby, a wolf will chase and cause damage to it.
If a wolf is attacked, it becomes aggravated. It will follow the player, growl, and do damage if it gets close enough. This also makes it no longer able to be tamed.
If a non-aggravated wolf is given enough bones, it turns into a dog, which has a different skin and a very different behavior.

Bugs
1.28:
- Wolves no longer provoke other wolves when hit by the player, and will also no longer chase the player or mobs. Hostile wolves can still cause damage if they make contact with their target by chance, however.
Trivia
- Other than snowmen, wolves are the only mob that can attack you in peaceful mode.
- If other wolves are nearby when you hit one, they will also attack you. (Currently does not work, see bugs above)
- If a wolf comes in contact with a rabbit or a sheep, the wolf will become aggravated at it, and if it kills it the items will drop from the killed animal.
