Starter Wolf
Starter Wolf is a Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 mod giving players an auto-tamed pet on first join. It features an RPG leveling system where wolves gain health, damage, and size via combat. It also adds visual collar tiers and an auto-hunting Berserk mode.
🐺 Starter Wolf: RPG Companion Never start your Minecraft adventure alone again!
Starter Wolf is a Vanilla+ companion mod that guarantees every player gets a loyal, auto-tamed wolf the very first time they log into a world. But this isn't just a regular vanilla dog—your new Starter Pet features a fully custom RPG leveling system, dynamic physical growth, and a controllable auto-hunting AI!
✨ Key Features The Loyal Starter Pet
Instant Companion: The moment you join a world for the first time, a tamed, named "Starter Pet" will spawn right by your side.
Failsafe Respawn: Did your loyal companion meet a tragic end? Don't worry! If your Starter Pet dies, you will automatically be granted a new Level 1 wolf the next time you log into the server.
RPG Leveling & Growth
Dynamic EXP System: Your wolf earns EXP every time it deals damage to a mob. If your wolf gets the final killing blow, it earns bonus EXP equal to the mob's maximum health!
Stat Scaling: The wolf can reach a maximum of Level 20. Every time it levels up, it permanently gains +0.5 Max Health and +1.0 Attack Damage.
Physical Growth: As your wolf levels up, it physically grows larger! A max-level wolf is nearly double the size of a standard vanilla wolf.
Visual Progression You can tell how strong a Starter Wolf is just by looking at it. As your pet levels up, its collar automatically changes color to reflect its power tier:
Level 1+: Standard Red
Level 5+: Emerald Green
Level 10+: Gold Yellow
Level 15+: Diamond Light Blue
Level 20 (MAX): Epic Purple
Interactive Items
The Stat Checker (Stick): Want to know exactly how much EXP your wolf needs to level up? Just right-click your wolf with a Stick to receive a private chat message detailing its exact Level, Health, and EXP.
Berserk Mode (Bone): Right-click your wolf with a Bone to toggle Berserk Mode! When active, your wolf will emit angry storm-cloud particles and automatically hunt down any hostile mobs or animals within a 16-block radius. (Safety feature: Berserk wolves will automatically ignore Creepers, Players, and other pets to prevent accidental explosions and friendly fire!)
⚙️ Dependencies This mod requires Pehkui (Forge 1.20.1) to handle the physical size scaling of the wolf. Please make sure Pehkui is installed in your mods folder alongside Starter Wolf, or the game will crash!
🎮 Multiplayer / Server Safe Starter Wolf is fully compatible with multiplayer servers. Every individual player will receive their own personal Starter Pet upon joining the server for the first time!
