🌟 Overview & Feature Parity

The Minecraft 1.21.11 release of Vanilla Outsider: Better Dogs provides complete 39-feature parity with the modern release line, fully adapted to the Winter Drop API relocations.

Key Architectural & Engine Highlights

• Relocated Entity Package Architecture: Built for net.minecraft.world.entity.animal.wolf.Wolf with modern Identifier.fromNamespaceAndPath() and CompoundTag.getOptional().
• Native Attribute Scaling: Uses native Attributes.SCALE to adjust wolf physical scale ($0.70\times$ to $1.45\times$).
• Custom Chorus Howl Audio Event: Registers betterdogs:entity.wolf.howl with pitch-modulated harmonic responses.
• Paper Adoption System: Shift + Right-Click with Paper to list/cancel adoption; empty-handed players can adopt listed dogs.
• Sentinel Guard Mode: Shift + Right-Click with Bone to anchor dogs to a sentinel guard post.
• Autonomous Ground Feeding: Dogs seek out and consume dropped edible meat to heal, incrementing feedCount and triggering favorite treat zoomies.
• Command Suite & Advancements: Full Brigadier /betterdogs command suite and 13 custom Husbandry advancements.

TIP

☕ Navigating Winter Drop package relocations: Adapting to 1.21.11's relocated animal.wolf.Wolf classes while maintaining identical gameplay across all versions requires continuous precision. If you enjoy seamless Winter Drop mod compatibility, supporting my work on Ko-fi keeps my mod ports flowing!
