:-p my wolves scare me lol after 4 deaths to a wolf who had taken over my sky house I pushed all the others off the sky house to their deaths >...> the only wolves I have left are on the ground and near water xD they get stuck in water just liek anything else o.o Havn't figured out the booties yet ):
So yeah, I finally managed to pull myself away from farming and other tinkering and decided to harvest some spruce logs...in the middle of the night...
The howling is veeeeeeery eerie. After having my health drop down to three hearts and hearing five howls in a row I decided it was time to cover in a 2x2 hole and continue my "there's no place like home" -mantra. I'm actually terrified when I even think of The Wolf-Thing-From-Hell.

Doh. That was actually an oversight on my part. Will fix.

Well, the issue is that naming something takes something away from it to be sure, especially a name that has so many references in existing fiction.
In retrospect, I really regret not calling it "Phillip" or something similar in the code so that it would be clear that how it was being referenced wasn't actually its name ;)
considering that the most violent, destructive, tyrannical entity in MC is called Steve, Philip sounds like an excellent name for a slavering murder-beast ;P

Oh man. I want to try the new update so bad but I'm scared now. My main base is smack in the middle of a taiga biome :) Maybe I'll post my adventures here after I sack up and unleash the wolves.
Had not seen the beast till now....Was passing the rainy night by admiring Kezza's new BTW Derivation items when I hear a growling. I quickly change windows back to minecraft to see this frikkin creature face to face with me, growling and staring at me. Needless to say, I was devoured. I had been using dirt as a door so I'm not sure if I just forgot to put the dirt down or if the beast can plow through...regardless, this was probably the coolest death I've had in Minecraft in a long time.
Now that 4.83 is out and we've all had a week to explore Better Wolves; maybe we should share the recipe for the booties for those who haven't figured it out... uh... like we did...

I imagine it would be possible for a wolf to walk through your portal if it is out in the open. I'm not really sure what effects the Nether has on wolves...
So I've proven myself impotent as far as discovering the booties/headband recipes are concerned. I understand the general consensus that discovery is part of the fun of BTW, but I'd like to point out that the frustration of repeated failure to discover something like this hinders fun for a minority of players (myself included) more than the satisfaction of discovery enhances it. People who want to discover things on their own will always choose to do so, whether the information/spoilers are available to them or not, the aforementioned minority however are not given the same choice, and I feel therein lies an imbalance.
I'm not trying to preach, I'd just be really grateful if someone would share these recipes with me, either here or through PM.
Oh man, I really didn't think anyone would still be looking.
Here's the face-palming truth of the matter: there are no booties (or spoon).
You've been the victim of what is now a two-week long running gag, with the concept of me of all people adding costumes for wolves being so totally out there, that most recognized it for what it was, and even joined in the fun by creating false screenshots of their wolves in outfits.
Aww shit your right i did have to texture those in didnt i?
On a positive note well playing and walking through a forest i was chased by a pack of wolves, at that point i forgot i hadent untextures the booties off of them, it was interesting being chased by a pack of booty wolves.
Also has anyone experimented with Golden dung and Dire wolves?

So:
Haha...noob :)
Wow, dude... that's cold... my boy was hospitalized for the last 10 days, a case of pneumonia... and he actually spent a few hours each day in the hospital searching for the booties recipe.....
I got suspicious when it was mainly Jecowa posting about them bar a few additions from others and FC, but man you really fell for the ear rings and head bands?
I guess its time to go poke zombified wolves with golden poo, why do I get the felling I'll be seeing the splash text "haha... noob!" soon.

You've heard it here first folks. Being a woolfaboo gives you pneumonia. Don't be a wolfaboo.
Ummm. If you weren't so utterly brilliant a designer and if I didn't know you from untold months of lurking and if I really shouldn't
have known better I'd be pissed. I figured it out after re reading the Changelog and seeing that it wasn't listed.
Fun was had in trying to figure it out though.
Now if only I could figure out how to keep my wolfies from going all Gary Busey on me...
Time slows down in a high gravitational field. This fact is the pinion of my plan to destroy us all...
