📯 Solo Dev Tip: Giving purpose to vanilla goat horns by turning them into tactical acoustic commands lets you lead your pack like a genuine ranger. If commanding your wolf pack across biomes makes survival adventures feel epic, feel free to stop by my Ko-fi to support future updates!
⏱️ 2. Pathing & Override Timeouts
- Pathing Timeout: Wolves pathfinding to a sounded horn location attempt pathfinding for up to 400 ticks (20s) (
bd_horn_pathing_timeout). If pathing is obstructed by lava or steep cliffs, the wolf aborts pathing safely. - Override Duration: Tactical Pacifist override remains active for 600 ticks (30s) (
bd_horn_override_duration) before wolves revert to standard personality AI rules.
