Sophisticated Wolves

The Sophisticated Wolves mod aims to give wolves, and subsequently tamed dogs, better abilities in the game. It gives them a better sense of their surroundings so they are not completely dependent upon their owner. So that means while you may have tamed a wolf, it can still function in the environment without you and without you commanding them to just sit out of harm’s way.

Sophisticated wolves are actually separate animals from traditional wolves. So both will still spawn in your world. However, you can make a standard wolf sophisticated by giving it a dog treat. You can also name your wolves with the dog tag and the color of the name above them will correlate to their health; ranging from healthy white to injured red. Dog tags function differently than typical nametags as you can just right click on a wolf to name them with the dog tag instead of needing an anvil.

These wolves will also vary in type based on the biome they are found or spawned in.

Wolves will no longer rely on you for feeding them either. They’ll go off and find their own food. And they won’t be stuck by your side while you’re mining. They will wait a distance away from you until you finish but will still protect you from enemies if you are in danger. As soon as you turn around they’ll come back to you. And these wolves will also growl if an enemy is near!

Gravestone Mod

The Gravestone Mod makes the world of Minecraft a little spookier. It will generate a gravestone for you when you die but it will also do so for any tamed pets you have. It will hold the loot you had before you died as well. But beyond that the mod is so much more. You’ll find spawners for skeletons or withers randomly appearing in your world. Plus you may even come across cemeteries and the wither’s catacombs. Be prepared for the unexpected.

There are 3 possible gravestones for you or villagers to have. Each will have an epitaph written on them and if you have a sword in your inventory you have a chance of having it appear as your grave. You will also find random graves and memorials throughout the game of various mobs and animals who died at some point. Each one has an epitaph written on them as well.

Aside from the convenience of your inventory saving upon your death in an eloquently marked spot, if your lovable pet should fall you have a chance to revive them.

With each pet gravestone, you’ll be able to dig its corpse up. As morbid as that may be, this is the only way you’ll get your dog, cat or horse back. Once you have the body you’ll need to build an altar and with a little experience you can revive your pet back to its old self.

The Catacombs is a massive structure that delves deep underground. You’ll find it at the center of a big cemetery with a mausoleum. It’s creepy and full of mobs, traps and loot. Plus it’s guarded by the aforementioned wither deep underground so tread lightly.

You’ll come across new spawners in the Catacombs. These function a little differently than normal spawners. Skeleton Spawners will generate any type of skeleton including the ones added with this mod like skeleton dogs and cats and the same goes for the zombie spawner. The wither spawner is only found deep in the wither’s catacombs but will obviously spawn none other than a wither. If you happen to make it down that far, pray that you have the skill to survive the wither. And once you do you have a Nether Portal to look forward to. Good luck!

Gravestone Mod

The Gravestone mod, as the name suggests, adds gravestones to Minecraft that spawn when players, dogs, villagers, and cats die.

There’s also a 25% chance that your grave will be a sword if you have one in your inventory when you die. This mod also adds in spawners and new kinds of zombie and skeleton mobs.

Another couple of cool aesthetic features are memorials, bone blocks, creeper statues, and more!

If you like adventure, you’ll love the catacombs this mod generates.

They are very dangerous and dark, and if you’re intrepid enough, you might even stumble upon a new boss…

This mod has a VAST array of additional items, recipes, and features, so make sure to check it out at the developer’s link. If you think you can do it without getting scared, that is…
