Suggestion to Mojang: Snowy wolves should be able to walk on powdered snow. This would prevent them from dying to it and would be a cool little feature in general.

The Indian wolf subspecies is the most famous example of wolves in jungles, but the variant placed rhwre in-game seems inspired by a seperate animal known as the dhole which is a bright orange and found in southeast Asian jungles (although jt is unfortunately endangered with only 2000 individuals in that entire range)

Did you know striped hyenas were once tamed in Egypt to help hunt food. They stop taming them later. Striped hyenas can actually be "tamable" if raised at birth. Even though they are not wolves or canids, they can be very dog-like and also are my favorite animals so I am SO thrilled about this update.

[@somebodykares1]

The Achievement is likely going be like like "Leader of the Pack" or something. Also people have started calling African Wild Dogs to African Painted Dogs for the Wild gave reason for hunters to hunt them for people considered Wild Dogs to be dangerous. They changed the names to African Painted Dogs for they were starting to go endangered from hunters.

Not true there's no minor update for the wolves they're coming in both with 1.21 that would be dumb to not be added to 1.21 except for the dog armor

[@emperorshun4750]

Exactly its the reason we havent gotten a update name yet. Most of the stuff after minecon hasnt been for 1.21 but for 1.20.5. Last year we got the update name at the start of march, I belive we will wait longer since we get quite a bit of stuff in 1.20.5.

[@huntercool2232]

2:33 Yes, there are “wolves” that are found in the jungle. The Maned Wolf is the inspiration for the Minecraft Jungle Wolf/Rusty Wolf. It’s not a true wolf, but still a canine found in the Amazon Jungle of South America. It could also represent a Dhole which are once again not actual wolves, but are still canines that act very similar to wolves, hunting in packs, and live in the Jungles of India.

[@divonisback]

They should make horses relevant again by letting us equip them with horse shoes enchanted with soul speed. Max speed horse + soul speed horse shoes = time travel. Also frost walker so they can run across water

[@divonisback]

@RokkTheRock Fr. Plus imagine the texture packs to give your horses jordans lol. It could be as simple as an upside helmet recipe or the helmet recipe with nuggets instead

[@Darkleonard]

horses are already highly relevant, its just when you progress to a certain point you have the choice of a car (ice boat), a plane (elytra) and a horse (…horse)

[@divonisback]

@Darkleonard nah i dont think they're really relevant. You make a wheat and cow farm day 1 and its just more convenient to sprint jump everywhere. A horse will get you 30 seconds out before running into a lake

[@theErratictrap]

They missed the chance to add Dingos into deserts! It would've been so cool if they had a werewolf too, it could look like a normal wolf but with permanent red eyes during the day and then transform at night and become hostile to everything including you even if tamed until sunrise. And maybe you could cure its hostility like how you cure zombie villagers with potions so that the werewolf has self-control again and wont attack everything impulsively anymore when in that form? Maybe for halloween

[@pokoriikitkat265]

About the only wolf family member I know of that can sometimes be found in jungles/rainforests is the Maned Wolf. You won't see them often though. There's only been about maybe 20 some sightings so far.

[@TamanduaGirl]

Nah maned wolf has black feet. It's a depiction of a dhole, which has light colored feet. Manned wolf has long legs for tall grass lands and brush. Dhole has short legs to go under all the jungle vegetation. Dhole are even rarer to be seen for this reason.

[@orpheus3342]

Mojang has recently been going down an interesting direction. Adding more variants of different things and making things more biome dependent adds to the replayability of the game. This new change with wolves, among many other changes, allows different biome spawns to determine more of what happens in the world. For instance, everyone has their favourite set of armour trims, but when you find a random one and can dupe it most people opt to put it on even though it isn't the specific one they want. My point here is that survival Minecraft has become very similar over the years; you hop into a world, and eventually get maxed out gear, and build your ideal house/villager hall and other farms. Adding more variety to biomes in this way helps people play differently, even if it is as small as having a different coloured wolf to what they would usually have. Hopefully they continue with this trend, maybe even adding more variety (based on biome) in terms of late game items 🤔

you can spawn wolf types with spawn eggs by using them in the biomes they spawn naturally.

[@thinking_toomuch]

There are many Canids that live in the tropics. Examples of these species include the Dhole, Golden jackal and the maned wolf. Most of these large species avoid dense forests, which is why a sparse jungle is perfect biome for them to spawn in.

Hi Captain, there are no jungle wolves in real life, but I imagine the rusty wolf is based off the dhole, a canine that lives in jungles! I also agree that spotted wolves are African wild dogs and the striped wolves are striped hyenas, though I find this choice a bit odd since hyenas aren’t even canids. They’re actually more related to felines. I’d also assume that the snowy wolf is based off of arctic wolves! I’m so excited for this update, thanks for showcasing it!

An Additional heart icons will appear for the player. Accessories are crafted with blocks of ore (blocks of diamond, iron…) and unique loot from epic dungeons. They have levels just like tools and armor according to the ore it’s made of, just like armor and tools.

"Do wolves live in jungles" Yes and no. If we are to talk specifically about gray wolves, aka canis lupus, then no, they don't inhabit jungles (despite of what Jungle Book might tell you). However many canines (as in - close relatives of OG gray wolves) do live in jungles, such as red maned wolf (chrysocyon brachyurus) or rusted wolf.

[@mrbuzinezz5262]

I think the jungle wolf is an interpretation of the maned wolf. No wolves in jungles btw but maned wolves live in South America

[@cosmicentity1520]

The Striped Wolf looks like a Hyena. Soo cool!

[@weeseal23]

Yes wolves do live in jungles. Through two situations. The word jungle originally meant any wilderness, which could include forests and mountains were we are used to finding wolves. There is also the Indian wolf, a subspecies of grey wolf that lives in India. They tend to be a bit slimmer and have a thinner coat than grey wolves that live in temperate forests ( Oregon for example ). India has a lot of jungles. And the Indian wolves spend a lot of their time hunting in the jungles. Jungle is actually a very good hunting ground for wolves since the dense plant coverage allows them to sneak up in prey easier.

[@weeseal23]

The orange coulors could also be a reference to dholes. They are loud canids ( wolves, foxes, dogs and similar animals ) that live in South East Asia. Unfortunately dholes often end up getting caught in hunters snare traps. Luckily, since they are so loud, it makes it easier for park rangers to find them.

There is a species of wolf that lives in jungles known as the Indian wolf, but the jungle variant seems to be more based off of dholes, which r not wolves but R a species of canids that live all over Asian jungles. As u mentioned, the spotted wolf variant is based off of wild dogs, also known as spotted dogs or painted dogs. They’re also not wolves but r a separate species of canid. Painted dogs r the most successful African predator, traveling in packs of up to 20, over 80% of their hunts r successful, lions and hyenas got nothing on them, and often will get their food stolen by them. Also, like u mentioned, the striped wolf variant is based off of striped hyenas, which r even further from wolves in taxonomy. They rn’t even canids. In fact they r part of the order Feliformia, meaning while they r not cats, they r more closely related to felines than to canids. In fact their closest living relatives r mongoose. There r four different species of living hyena, the spotted,(largest hyena species) the brown, the striped, and the aardwolf.(smallest and weirdest hyena species) The other color variants r just other species or color variants of actual wolves.

I believe I've heard of wolves that belong in jungles.
