Orbital Wolf Cannon Data Pack FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get started with the Orbital Wolf Cannon?
Use one of the three function commands in chat (/function orbital_wolf_cannon:give/owc_50, owc_100, or owc_200) to receive a custom fishing rod, then hold it in your main hand and cast it toward your target to summon your wolf pack.
What's the difference between the 50, 100, and 200 wolf packs?
Each fishing rod summons a different number of war dogs—50, 100, or 200 respectively. Larger packs deal more total damage but consume more resources and can impact performance on lower-end systems.
Do the summoned wolves stay permanently or do they despawn?
The wiki doesn't specify despawn mechanics, but summoned wolves are combat-focused units meant for active battles rather than permanent base guards—check your specific situation or test with a small pack first.
Can I use the Wolf Cannon in multiplayer?
Yes, the mod works smoothly in multiplayer PvP matches and shared survival worlds, though summoning hundreds of wolves simultaneously may cause lag depending on server performance.
Do the wolves attack my teammates or only enemies?
The wiki doesn't explicitly detail friendly-fire behavior, but since the mod is designed for base defense and PvP, test with a small pack around teammates first to confirm targeting rules.
Why aren't my wolves taking fire damage?
All summoned war dogs come with built-in fire resistance, so they won't be harmed by lava, fire blocks, or fire-based mob attacks—this is a core feature of the mod.
Can I use the Wolf Cannon against the Ender Dragon or Wither?
Yes, the mod is specifically designed to help crush tough bosses with boosted wolf attack strength and speed, making it effective for boss arena fights.
What happens if I cast the fishing rod but there's no target nearby?
The wiki doesn't detail this edge case, but fishing rod mechanics typically spawn summons at the cast location, so test in an open area to see where your wolves appear.
Will summoning 200 wolves lag my game?
Summoning very large packs can impact performance depending on your system specs and current world load—start with smaller packs (50 or 100) and scale up to find your performance sweet spot.
Do I need to tame the wolves or give them commands?
No—summoned war dogs are already combat-ready with boosted speed and attack strength, so you just cast the rod and they automatically attack nearby hostile mobs.
