Watchdogs
Watchdogs turns wolves into companions that can warn you about danger, guard important areas, and work alongside iron golems to keep monsters under control.
Threat Detection
When a hostile mob spots a player, nearby tamed wolves will growl and reveal the monster with the Glowing effect while facing the direction of the nearest spotted monster.
No more getting shot from the darkness by a skeleton you can't find.
No more creepers sneaking up from behind.
If something is hunting you, your wolf will help you find it.
Guard Mode
Sitting wolves enter Guard Mode.
While guarding, wolves will continuously watch the surrounding area and reveal nearby hostile mobs with the Glowing effect.
This allows wolves to function as village guards, camp sentries, and perimeter alarms.
Place wolves around your base, village, or favorite building and they'll keep watch while you're busy doing other things.
Iron Golem Integration
Monsters revealed by wolves become targets for nearby iron golems.
Wolves spot the threat.
Iron golems deal with it.
Together they create an effective village defense system.
Emergency Response
If a player is attacked, their sitting wolves will immediately stop sitting and attack.
Your guard dogs won't stay planted on the ground while you're getting chased by zombies.
Accidental Damage Protection
Tamed wolves are immune to damage from players.
No more accidentally hitting your wolf during combat.
Your companions are safe from friendly fire
