Wolf

A wolf is a mob that can be aggressive if attacked.

Behavior

Wolves are neutral mobs. If left alone, they will wander around, jump in place and yip. If attacked, they will follow the player, growl, and do damage if they get close enough. If there is a sheep nearby, wolves will randomly decide to attack it.

If a wolf is given enough bones, they will turn into a dog, which has a different skin and has a much different behavior.

Bugs

1.28:

• Wolves no longer provoke other wolves when hit by the player, and will also no longer chase them. Hit wolves can still hurt the player upon contact, however.
• Tamed wolves do not take damage from touching a cactus.
• Sometimes, tamed wolves can teleport into walls. They then seem to slowly glitch up the wall when in this state.
• Tamed wolves do not chase the player when off-screen. They just wait until they are far enough away from the player and teleport to them.

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.
• If a wolf comes in contact with a bunny or a sheep, the wolf will kill the bunny/sheep, and the items will drop from the killed animals
