Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Resource pack only.

Minecraft 1.21.4–1.21.5Newest
Minecraft 1.20.5–1.21.3

⬇ Download for 1.21.4–1.21.5 ⬇ Download for 1.20.5–1.21.3

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

LIL' BUDDIES!!!! This resource packs replaces all 9 wolf variants with small versions of the 9 default minecraft skins :) Here's each variant and its corresponding minecraft skin:

Pale wolf - Sunny Woods wolf - Steve Ashen wolf - Makena Black wolf - Zuri Chestnut wolf - Noor Rusty wolf - Efe Spotted wolf - Alex Striped wolf - Kai Snowy wolf - Ari

Tamed buddies will have a little bracelet so you can identify which one is tamed and which one isn't. Bracelets can be dyed just like normal collars! All buddies will have the Herobrine eyes when they're angry.

EXTRAS When naming a Pale wolf (here it is the Sunny skin) the following names with a nametag, they will change skin:

Supermugget Super_Jose Fommxo Fomxxo in suit Portal guy Herborine Jack Black uremosdan
