Works as an early warning system in caves or at night. **Item Fetching** - Crouch and your wolf will fetch nearby item drops and bring them to you. Useful for cleaning up after a fight. --- ## How It Works - Wolves still fight normally, they just stop when the job is done - Crouch to signal your wolf to fetch items, stand up to cancel - Growling doesn't interrupt combat or other behaviors - Items are visually shown in the wolf's mouth while carrying --- ## Config Everything can be toggled or adjusted in the config file: - Enable/disable any feature - Adjust detection ranges - Change fetch behavior (crouch-only or always active) - Tweak timing for growls and fetching --- ## Requirements - Minecraft 1.20.1 - Forge 47.0.0+ --- ## Notes - Only affects tamed wolves - Sitting wolves won't fetch, growl, or hunt - Should work fine with other mods unless they completely overwrite wolf AI --- Report bugs on the issue tracker.
