VO: Better Dogs

# 🐕 Better Dogs

**No Backports:** This mod targets **Minecraft 26.1+**. Older versions are unsupported.

> **Make Wolves Worthy Companions. Smarter, Safer, Livelier.**

Every Minecraft player knows the pain: you spend hours finding a wolf, tame it, and five minutes later it jumps into lava or walks off a cliff. **Better Dogs** overhauls wolf AI to make them effective partners. Powered by a high-performance **Event-Driven AI Scheduler**, they act efficiently without sacrificing performance.

Part of the **Vanilla Outsider Collection** — mods that refine the vanilla experience with modern standards.

## ✨ Features

### 🧠 Personality Intelligence
When tamed, wolves develop one of three permanent personalities, visible via custom particles:

– 💢 **Aggressive**: The Guardian. Proactively attacks hostile mobs and scouts ahead.
– ❤️ **Pacifist**: The Healer. Avoids combat unless you are hurt. High health, low damage.
– ✨ **Normal**: The Classic. Balanced stats and standard vanilla-plus behavior.

### 🤝 Advanced Social AI
– **Social Bonding (Affinity)**: Dogs form relationships within their pack. Socializing builds trust and reduces accidental infighting.
– **Adult Correction**: Aggressive adults discipline misbehaving puppies, preventing death loops.
– **Pack Genetics**: Puppies inherit personality traits and stats from their parents.

### 🛡️ Smart Survival AI
– **Cliff Safety**: Wolves detect fatal drops and airborne targets, stopping dangerous chases.
– **Hazard Awareness**: Improved pathfinding around lava, fire, and drowning hazards.
– **Creeper Awareness**: Wolves flee from hissing Creepers!

### 📡 Behavioral Specialization
– **Scouting**: Aggressive dogs proactively range ahead to clear your path.
– **Silent Alarm**: Pacifist dogs emit a high-pitched whine when they detect nearby monsters.
– **Gift System**: Loyal dogs bring you treasures based on their personality.
– **Debug Tools**: Use `/betterdogs debug territory` to test pack interactions.

### 🏰 Wild Wolf Territoriality
Wild wolf packs are now dynamic, territorial entities led by a dominant leader:
– **Territorial Disputes (The Handshake)**: When rival packs meet, leaders negotiate. If both want war, they engage in a **Territorial War**. If only one wants war, the other may **Yield & Merge** immediately or retreat based on a configurable chance.
– **1v1 Leader Duels**: During a war, rival leaders engage in a cinematic 1v1 duel to settle dominance, while pack members participate in a secondary brawl.
– **Yield & Merge**: Defeated packs are not lost; they yield and **merge** with the winning pack, allowing for the natural formation of massive wolf colonies.
– **Wild Personality AI (New Default)**: Out of the box, wild pack members exhibit unique behaviors (like Aggressive hunting or Pack Retreats) while anchored to their leader.
– **Performance Hardened**: All AI logic is performance-optimized using **DasikLibrary 1.7.0**, ensuring zero console spam and smooth server TPS even with massive packs.

Vanilla Food Hunger Bar HUD Hotbar

Reverts the HUD Food/Hunger Icons to the default, vanilla ones when put above other Resourcepacks. Useful for overriding the textures when using other resource packs that might make them look worse.

Now with [Appleskin](https://modrinth.com/mod/appleskin/versions) and [Farmer’s Delight](https://modrinth.com/mod/farmers-delight) COMPATS!


I mainly made this to revert these food/hunger textures from [Unique Dark](https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/unique-dark):
