I know that this may have been suggested a few times before, but this time its a bit different. Instead of just skin change, my suggestion is actually adding BREEDS into it. And in addition to having different skins, they also have different amount of attack health, etc
To make a dog breed, you have to make a Breed bone, which is created by mixing the iconic thing about the dog with a bone. For example, for a Husky Bone, you add a Snowball with a Bone, and for Golden Retriever Bone, you mix Yellow Dye with Bone. (Gold is too expensive lol)
To get a Dog Breed, you tame it like you tame a normal wolf, but with the corresponding bone. Stronger dog breeds take more bones to tame, whilst weaker dogs take less to tame
Also, dogs are seperated into 2 categories- Lapdogs and Fighting dogs.
They each have special abilities- Fighters can have inventories, and lapdogs can find minerals, but they can't fight, and generally have low stats.
For example: These are fighting dogs
BREED | SPEED | ATTACK | HEALTH | BONE RECIPE | BONE AMOUNT NEEDED
Husky | High | High | Medium | Snowball | High
(Huskies can only be spawned in snow biome)
Golden Retriver | Medium | Medium | Medium | Yellow Dye | Low
Bulldog | Low | Max | Medium | Leather | Medium
Beagle | High | Moderate | Medium | Map (good at pathfinding)| Medium
German Shepard Max | Max | Max | Diamond | High
(Wolves only have a small chance of becoming German Shepard because of the high stats)
Dalmatian | High | Medium | Medium | Flint and Steel | High
(Dalmatian are resistant to fire because they are firefighting mascot, you can ride one into lava)
ETC, ETC,
Here are the Lapdogs: You can put them on your head, and they will point their nose at the mineral
BREED | BONE RECIPIE | MINERAL| BONE AMOUNT
Poodle | Brown Dye | Diamonds| High
Pug | Cake | Iron| Low
Pomerian Gold (Queens Kept them)| Gold| Medium
Please put more suggestions I hope you enjoyed my ideas I will post new ideas sooner of later
I really don't see a need for this. It's the same problem that most weapon threads have, where it's supposed to be a single, small aspect of the game and you turn it into the main attraction. Basically, we don't need 10 different things that are basically the same and do the same thing. The only exception to this is Blocks, because building and crafting is a HUGE part of the game.
I don't mind having a variation of the dog that is meant to do something else, such as a lapdog. But throwing multiple reskinned wolves with minimal stat changes is just wasting game space for minimal gain, so I think this would be best suited for a mod.
