Will a tamed wolf follow you in Minecraft?

What Are Wolves and What Do They Do in Minecraft

Wolves are mobs that can be tamed. They are extremely useful to take with you in dangerous areas because they’ll attack nearly all mobs that hurt the player. Players can provoke a wild wolf by hitting it. Listed below are all the stages a wolf can go in and how they’ll look like.

Wild Wolf

They have a lower tail and won’t attack a player unless a player attacks them first.

Angry Wolf

You’ll know a wolf is angry when its eyes become red, similar to a bee when it’s provoked. Only a wild wolf can go into its angry mode too. But an angry wolf will attack baby turtles, foxes, rabbits, sheep, and skeletons.

Tamed Wolf

A tamed wolf looks just like a wild one but this time the eyes are bigger, and it has a collar on its neck. They won’t attack creepers, ghasts, tamed horses, or tamed cats.

Where to Find Wolves

Wolves are most commonly found in packs of fours, and will usually spawn in Biomes such as the Forest and Wooded Hills. A complete list of all the Biomes Wolves can spawn in can be found below.

How to Tame a Wolf

To tame a wolf you’ll need a few bones. Once you have the bones approach a wolf with the bones in hand and, when close enough, feed them the bones. Once you've given the wolf enough bones, hearts will appear above its head, and you'll know it's tamed when a red collar will appear around the wolf's neck. If red isn't your color, simply change the color of the wolf's collar by right-clicking or by pressing the left trigger while holding dye.

How to Breed a Wolf

To breed a wolf, you’ll need to have them tamed before you can breed them. Once you’ve done that, you won’t need to build an animal farm to keep the wolves from running away.

For the wolves to enter Love Mode, you’ll need to feed them any kind of raw meat. You can even feed the wolves Rotten Flesh and they’ll enter love mode. Once the wolves enter love mode, a puppy wolf will spawn within seconds. The baby wolf that spawns will also be automatically tamed too. Now that you've learned how to breed wolves, why not check out our Taming Guide that details everything you need to know about Taming Animals in Minecraft.

Get to Know Your Wolf

A tamed wolf can be commanded to follow you and stay. If you command it to stay, as long as it's in a safe area, it won't die or despawn. However, should the wolf be following you, it'll attack any mobs that you attack, with the exception being creepers. If your wolf has engaged in combat, you'll be able to judge the health of your wolf simply by how high its tail is. If your wolf has a low amount of health, it'll begin to whine and the lower its health is the lower its tail will be. You'll be able to heal your wolf by feeding it any raw meat, even rotten flesh.

Quick Tips and Facts
