Backported Wolves
Since Minecraft recently added more variants of the wolf that has been with us for so long, I figured we shouldn't have to wait until the next update to play with them.
With that we have Backported Wolves, adding all 8 new variants introduced by Minecraft, for older versions.

They come in 8 new variants, plus 1 -which is the standard one.\ These are:
- Pale Wolf (Default) - Taiga
- Woods Wolf - Forest
- Ashen Wolf - Snowy Taiga
- Black Wolf - Old Growth Pine Taiga
- Chestnut Wolf - Old Growth Spruce Taiga
- Rusty Wolf - Sparse Jungle
- Spotted Wolf - Savanna Plateau
- Striped Wolf - Wooded Badlands
- Snowy Wolf - Grove
They are all tameable and when bred the baby will have the same variant as one of it's parents.
As of 2.0.0, the sound variants are also added, which are:
- Angry
- Big
- Classic
- Cute
- Grumpy
- Puglin
- Sad
Biome Spawns
As of 1.1.0, all spawns are configurable by making a data pack with biome tags for their variants. \ Example: \ \ 1.18.2> "data/backported_wolves/tags/worldgen/biome/spawns_ashen_wolf.json"
{
"values": [
"minecraft:snowy_taiga",
"minecraft:desert",
"othermod:other_biome"
]
}
1.18-1.18.1 "data/backported_wolves/tags/biomes/spawns_ashen_wolf.json"
{
"values": [
"minecraft:snowy_taiga",
"minecraft:desert",
"othermod:other_biome"
]
}
If multiple variants are added to the same biomes, they all have an equal chance of spawning.
