How to Observe Wild, Tamed, and Angry Wolf Textures

Locating Wild Wolves

Wolves feature updated models and realistic coat textures that change depending on their current behavior state. To find them in their default state:

1. Travel to a Taiga or Forest biome where wolves naturally generate.

2. Locate a pack of wolves. Before you interact with them, they will display the pack's Wild Wolf texture.

Triggering Angry and Tamed Appearances

Because wolf textures are tied to vanilla behavior states, you can view the other appearances by interacting with the mob:

• Angry Wolf Texture: Attack a wild wolf (or let it spot a nearby skeleton or sheep routine, keep your distance if attacking in Survival). While hostile toward a player or mob, its appearance switches to the Angry Wolf texture.
• Tamed Wolf Texture: Approach a calm, wild wolf while holding Bones. Feed it bones until hearts appear above its head. Once tamed, the wolf switches to the Tamed Wolf texture. You can then apply vanilla dyes to change its collar color as normal.
