Why Wolf Armour doesn't fix Anything 

tbh all ai absolutley sucks. mobs, animals, villagers are completley dumb and their ai crumbles apart when they have to navigate terrain that's not flat or intact

It’s so stupid that Wolves aren’t programmed first to avoid lava before teleporting. Almost every wolf death I ever had was because they burned

Part of the reason I don't like getting a wolf to follow me is because I don't want it to die while it's following me. I'd like a dog bed that a pet can assign itself to like villagers do with beds, so that when the pet dies it can respawn at the dog bed.

I think the idea of wolves having more personality is great, but I definitely wouldn't remove the teleporting ability. No matter how good the AI gets, it likely will never be able to completely avoid dangerous situations, so having that safeguard is nice, for both casual and more hardcore players

This really is a big problem with *all* mc pets (cats parrots & dogs). Dogs are used as military soldiers, cats are left to sit in the depths of a creeper farm, and parrots simply exist. And if none of those are done then most often the "pets" are left to sit in a room for all eternity.

This video made me realise: We need sleeping dogs. Like foxes, they have a sleeping pose/animation for night time when sitting.

I love that the dog armor neutralizes the new mace onehit KO

The wolf armor is literally just a totem of undying for wolves.

5:12 The wolf variants aren't actually for 1.21, but will instead be added alongside armadillos in 1.20.5

1:04 Wolf armor doesn’t have a unique system, it acts much like the player’s shield

One mod that does the "Mob AI" a lot more interesting is the between lands, almost every mob has survival instincts and interactions that makes watching them feel like a nature documentary and are more natural to encounter to find than the base game

I think all Minecraft mods need a serious improvement to their AI. Especially now that the game is over 10 years old.

So cool that you blasted it with my breeze cannon! 😄 thanks for mention

I started getting dogs to protect my chickens from random fox spawns. They've just been quiet sentinels, sitting there, rain or shine, never moving, never doing anything.

really cool concept, maybe they can make a dog house you can connect your dog too so he will stay in its vicinity

This is exactly what I was afraid of when I heard the armadillo winning. I knew that in order for the additions to make sense they would need to either entirely rework dogs, fix creepers, or give the dogs plot armor. And knowing Mojang they went predictably for Plot Armor, instead of fixing their game.

If wolves become stronger when wearing armadillo skin, shouldn’t that mean that armadillos should be just as strong?

I would genuinely carry a parrot around on my shoulder if they would actually stay

Thinking about it, here are other examples of major weaknesses with mobs that involve A.I... • Villager-based farms in general. • Ranged mobs ignoring entities blocking the target, even if it is an End Crystal or cross-fire mob that will retaliate. • Being able to bait slimes(and sometimes skeletons) into hazards. • Skeleton infighting. • Being able to cluster mobs around a creeper, then blocking, one-shotting an entire group of mobs. • Mobs fighting other mobs outnumbered. • The Wither hovering above a player; this makes cheesing the Wither with End Crystals way easier. • Nullifying mobs as hazards using boats. • Bats.

I really like the idea of wolf personalities, but for your idea of having them roam your base without wandering off… how do you propose they do that? When everyone’s base is a different shape and size, how do you propose the dog knows when it’s in the base or not. Furthermore, though this is probably an easier one, how do you propose a dog know if it’s inside or outside? I really love your concept and I hope they implement it, but I’m just pointing out that a few of your suggestions have glaring holes in them

Tbh, the worst part of wolves is the fact that if they somehow get too far away without teleporting they will never teleport to you unless said chunk is loaded again. Example would be... travel on a boat with a pack of dogs following you, if ghe journey is even moderately long and you dont even revisit the chunk the dogs are essentially gone.

I suppose pathfinding can be fixed a bit for simple things like jumping over chasms. But complex behavior seems programmatically impossible in a game like this - how do you define "indoors"?

Wolf Armour does fixes half of the issue wolves has (They die too easily from mobs) so it allows your cosmetic dog to be a companion to your adventure

I love how we are talking about the stupidity of Minecraft dogs while my camel has been spinning inside the waterfall at my base ever since I brought it home

The armor literally allows the wolf to 1 v 1 an iron golem lol

"I've tricked you, this video is really about wolf AI" me: "YES, GOOD"

New Wolf personalities seem like an amazing idea, I have a few more ideas that mojang could add. Firstly they could add a brand new wolf "movement mode" sort of like the current "follow" and "sit" modes but instead its a "scout" mode where they roam around your base. with this they could add a dog bed where it acts as an indicator of where your base is, you can place it indoors or outdoors. if the dog bed is indoors and the wolf is more of an outdoor wolf the wolf could play sad noises on the door which indicates that the wolf wants to go outside. maybe even add a new pet door? so mobs can't go inside but pets can freely go through. What will make the "scout" feature useful though is if a mob is present, more aggressive wolves would growl and even bite mobs but run away until you actually attack the mob then they would actually acttack them. And more skittish/passive wolves would make whimpering noises and run towards you for protection. Aaaand Maybe another feature they could add is hunger to wolves. that would make players pay more attention to wolves. So for example they a player makes a wolf sit, if the wolf is hungry they would stand up and try to find you and make whimpering noises to let you know they're hungry. if they strave they die (obviously lol)

This guy just wanted an excuse to kill wolves for ten minutes

I think a new addition could be a sniffing mechanic. If you give it an item, it will immediately begin taking you to the nearest mob (within reasonable distance) that drops that item.

my dog tried running into the fireplace in my room as soon as i let it stand up, i now have iron bars completely covering the fireplace

gerg needs to go on his villian arc

New wolf AI would be nice but if that die than is will be much sadder Edit: thank you for 42 likes this is my most liked comment ever

Greg: i dropped the dog from 100 blocks. It survivor. Then from 200. It survived. Then i did what any nowmal person would do Me : drop it from 300 blocks? Greg: no. *I built a death cannon*

I really like the personality range idea, and I think it'd be cool if some dog breeds were more likely to have different personalities, such as, just a random example, Forest Wolves more likely to be extroverted (happiest when outside or with other dogs), while Snowy Wolves are more likely to be introverted (happier when inside and by itself)

agreed. I'd play more if pets weren't just glorified statues

I- I did not know pandas had a literal "personality" mechanic. Hell I forgot they even existed. Man this is exactly what the problem with MC is, they add cool new things, but still don't update old stuff from the past that should've been fixed already.

And I will continue seething!!

I love the slider idea for ai. Applying it to all mobs would be cool but then they have like a baseline or preference depending on the mobs or locked ones depending on mob.

WELL NO SHIT THE ARMOR WONT PROTECT IT FROM DROWNING!!!!

Yeah, AI issues in all animals need a big fix. According to my brother they should just have one update where they just polish the current game

Spiders are giant and attack you on sight if it's dark but are totally chill if it's light. Dogs have a mystical link to you (the same one that lets you see their death messages). Realism has never been a part of this game. Compaining about "realism" in the fantasy block game is what got the firefly removed.

Summary of old Wolf Armour: Works like Clash Royale shields.

Adding personality to wolf is quite a valid suggestion i hope to get added.

Easy solution is pet beds/respawning. They will respawn sat down ofc.

2:05 pov: you’re trying to increase the word count on an essay.

I was expecting this to be a giant nitpick but these actually sound like problems that need to be addressed

It doesn't matter how good they make wolf armor, it should've used the turtle scute to begin with

Man, I want Mojang to see this so much

1:55 Actually, Minecraft player max health is 20, meaning you would have 19.998 health ☝️🤓

I… really don’t see the problem with the wolf armor. I’m glad the armor breaks and the damage doesn’t carry over to the dog. It means you get a chance to jump in and save them before they can be killed once the armor breaks. It gives you a warning. And the teleporting isn’t really an issue either. Sure, it’s unrealistic, but who cares? It’s a game.

I don't trust Mojang to do the wolf personalities but I hope a mod developer sees this video and is inspired, I would download that in a heart beat.

This personality traits is so much cool.....mojang should add this so every mob...slowly but surely

One thing I would like is for Wolves and dogs to be two different creatures like ocelots and cats

I find it funny how the best pet, is also one of the worst pets.

I had no idea pandas have personalities, that's crazy. WOLFS NEEEEED this

The damage part of this video is simply a man not understanding shield/damage gating.

Worse yet, mods that use wolf AI for custom mobs are garbage. So much garbage. So much garbage and theyre proud of their creation based on a core of poop.

Mojang: doesn’t add fireflies because they are realistic Wolf armor:

You know what they should’ve added to tamed wolfs? They should’ve added 3 click function on them. Example: Clicked to sit- after a while of just sitting, they lay or do other laying positions, or just sleep. Clicked to follow-Not much different, but at least fix their ai following/direction command. Clicked to roam- A third feature I think would be cool. Like an iron golem mostly roaming around, but still within a village. It would make the dog more dog like to roam around.

This is actually genius, i dont think iv every seen a minecraft idea this good

Something tells me he wasn’t a good Wolf owner in Minecraft. Should have been more like Pewdiepie.

So, what I should get from this is that... All sucks, life sucks?

I am *never* going to recover from hearing the sentence, "It might have just been through the Minecraft equivalent of a plane crash." Hahaha

Instead of teleporting, I'd say something more akin to rubberbanding from Mario Kart is in order. Drastically increase their speed doubling or tripling it as they get 6-12 blocks away. Then do the teleport as a last resort. All dogs could also get names by default. No name tag required. Have their roaming tied to a bed or something. Or even use a lead on them and that lead ties them to the location but with a much larger area.

I don't really mind the AI, I think it's ok to have a pet that's just there for decoration. To me, they don't need to be useful, they just need to be fun. And I think they're fun.

...Now I want to download ftl again

An idea I had had a while ago was for the player to craft a "whistle" of some kind that, when used, teleports all standing pets to them. This would allow the animals to wander freely and, when the player loses track of them or needs them for combat, they can summon them.

The most important feature should be the ability to pet the dog

Buckshot roulette refrence

The “use in case of IRS” sign got me rolling

Me about to make the most utterly diabolical army of wolves known to all of Minecraft:

People definitely care about single dogs. Also, if they didnt tp you couldnt travel faster than sprinting with dogs

It actually helps for me-

Wait so let me get this straight... Your dog can now live forever as long as you can repair the armor. And your mad about it?

I completly agree with you. Wolves definitly NEED better AI!

An actual amazing take and an even better suggestion I pray for this video to get more and more tracktion

Mojang: *adds wolf armor Fans: nah that's too weak Also mojang: *buffs up the armor Fans: nah that's too unrealisticly strong Honestly i feel bad for mojang

Gets notification Oh noo the world just stopped rotating, gerg hates new dogs and he's gonna have a point

Local youtuber is mad that wolves are now actually useful

great idea to add personality to wolves

wolf armer? i hardly know her!

Bro I swear people got always got something to complain about

It's funny to think if we got the crab or the penguin people would make these videos because all of them suck. It's just that the one that's in the game gets clowned on. (Let's be honest, all you need for a crab claw is three dirt blocks and the crouch/jump button)

Gerg just came up with the best mod / update idea I've ever heard.

as someone who voted for wolf armour i do not agree

I hate these types of content creators, alluding to a genuine “problem” via clickbaity title and or thumbnail, only to just make jokes or complain about an entirely different grievance that is only tangentially related at best. Wolf armor at first didn’t live up to what we wanted, but now it HAS been fixed. You’re just nit picking that fact for engagement now.

Meanwhile Baritone exists. Allow you to make a bot that controls player character that is completely self suficient and can beat the game or build stuff you want. So this way we know making minecraft AI smarter is possible and there are ways to do it.

the thing is they not only buffed the armor but also the wolf HP itself, making it seem crazily op while in reality it most likely wouldnt be so bad if they stuck to the old hp

skill issue.

You are right

I think the biggest problem with doing that is the fact an AI overhaul would be enough for an entire update, yet they only have one every year and would rather focus on new features rather than fixing old ones. They've been bug fixing like crazy lately, but to overhaul AI is insane and at that point you might as well make Minecraft 2

Nah this fixes my issue with wolfs dying as fast

Hi

i love copper

Having wolves have slight variations in size, leg length, ears or snout lengths would also be a great change that probably wouldn’t be too hard. Implementing a breeding system similar to horses could allow players to get diverse dogs, and not just base wolves, similar to in real life.

You can even enchant the wolf armour with unbreaking 3 to make the durability last longer then default

dont trust edited shit on the internet

Sooo.... the dog armor... protects dogs? jeez, someone call up mojang!!

Instead of looking at a single feature and going "Yep, we're adding that!" They should make updates centered around updating entire systems, mobs etc. Imagine if we also got reworked Pet AI (Nothing too extravagant, literally just more wolf-like behaviour, tweaked stats and the ability to not stand still on Magma/Cactus blocks)

Not just personality but perks to the types as well. Chesnut will run faster. Black will deal more damage to all mobs like the sharpness of wolves. Ashen will deal more damage to undead mobs like the smite of wolves. Rusty will have more health. And all wolves when attacking a skeleton will have a % chance of giving them slowness. Unlike the useless slowness effect with bane of arthro.
