Wild Behavior is a Minecraft Mod that completely overhauls the way animals act in minecraft, making it far more realistic than vanilla. Everything is configurable for your liking!
Sheep, pigs, horses, all passive animals will now flee from you, and move in large herds, moving across the land and grazing. You will never find them simply standing around anymore unless they are eating.
Wolves now move in packs and attack passive animals and players, but will flee if you catch a lone-wolf off guard. Villagers are kind, but will now fight back when attacked, and Iron Golems will protect them from hoards of wolves and the occasional Bear.
There are several different settings for the Mod making it highly configurable. See Images for those command options. The settings are saved in the world file, and can be tweaked depending on the world!
