I have a map where the entire center of the map is a large desert. I built a sheep pen with some transplanted grass in the desert and a wolf spawned in with the sheep. The pen is at least 100 blocks probably more from the closest grassland, forest or anywhere else the wiki says wolves spawn. Has anyone else had this happen? Does the sheep pen with grass constitute a grassland biome? Thanks for any insight.
I don't think wolves spawn on grassland, only forest and taiga biomes. Don't know how long you've been playing your world, but maybe that particular section of the desert biome shifted at some point, and is now forest or taiga that still looks like desert (with your grassy area as well). This may have happened during your latest update.
Just throwing this out there. I'm sure someone out there knows a lot more about this than me, so maybe they'll add to this.
Thanks for the thoughts. I started this world after the April update so I do not think a biome shift is the reason. This area is in the middle of a large desert.
