Summary

The "Tamed Wolf Guard Mode" update. Adds guard mode behavior for tamed wolves.

  • Guard Mode Activation: Right-clicking a tamed wolf with a bone toggles Guard Mode (consuming exactly 1 bone) and anchors the wolf to its current block.
  • Mathematical Patrol Patterns:
    • Aggressive: Paces in a circular/polygon shape along its outer perimeter sweep (80% range), pausing to scan outward for threats.
    • Normal: Sit-sentry posture at the guard post (range = 0), or radial star patrols outward and back (range > 0).
    • Pacifist: Close protective orbital circular pacing around the post.
  • Auto-Targeting & Chase Caps: Normal and Aggressive guards automatically attack hostiles within their range (16/24 blocks) but are capped from chasing targets too far (20/32 blocks) to prevent them being lured away.
  • Watchdog Alarms & Grace Buffs: Pacifist sentinels whine and emit warning note particles when hostiles approach, and optionally apply Regeneration and Resistance to owners/allies if bd_pacifist_guard_buffs gamerule is enabled.
  • Subtle Foot Particles: Displays very subtle, non-distracting foot particles every 4 seconds (ASH for Aggressive, WHITE_ASH for Normal, MYCELIUM for Pacifist) to distinguish guard mode.
  • Manual Sitting Standby: Right-clicking with an empty hand sits the dog down manually, which temporarily pauses guard updates.
  • Gamerule Customization: Added configurable patrol range rules (bd_guard_patrol_range_aggressive, bd_guard_patrol_range_normal, bd_guard_patrol_range_pacifist).
