Minecraft Wolves!

I'm already stockpiling bones and porkchops, as I plan to build a vast pet wolf army (well, vast depending on how many spawn in my tiny world.)

I didn't even know they had cows. Cool.

See also the "Mo Creatures" mod.

C418 (the guy who does the music and sound effects in the game) was posting on Twitter last week about his efforts to get "wolf" sounds in time for the update to be ready this week. He hinted the wolves may sound suspiciously like dogs.

Minecraft is getting more and more Nethack-like.

I'm looking forward to wolves appearing in the game. I hope they don't attack sheep after you shear them though (which you do by punching them, for those who don't know). I feel bad enough when the sheep die in my monster killing machine. Especially when other sheep are looking in from outside the machine.

OMG BP I love love love that shirt!!!

Yeah I'm stockpiling bones too. I guess I should start with the porkchops as well; April 11 is the date I heard and I cannot wait - yay, tame wolves!

Wolveses! Teleporting ones, no less! I have two so far, and have already caught myself saying "Whoooo wants a porkchop?" out loud.
