🐾 PackBond

PackBond is a lightweight 1.16.5 mod that prevents wolves from committing suicide in lava and improves their teleportation. Now you don't have to go back for your wolves just because you flew away too fast and too far!

In vanilla if you fly with elytra, you need to constantly go back or wait for your pets. This is fixed here. The mod waits until you land in a safe place to instantly teleport the wolves.

Wolves are no longer dumb, they don’t go into lava in aggressive state. Now because of skeleton or sheep your pet will not die.

📌 What it adds:

🌋 Wolves do not enter lava EVER.
🌌 Teleport to player even from unloaded chunks.
🦴 Use RMB on “bone” for instant recall of all wolves.

🛠️ Code Architecture

The mod is written in Java 8 for full 1.16.5 modpack compatibility.

🧩 Core parts:

WolfAiHooks & WolfLavaSafety — hooks for AI logic and environment checks.
LavaSafeNodeProcessor — custom navigation handling for safer pathfinding.
