Wolves periodically produce Dung over time, and do so at an increased rate when they are in total darkness.

Wolves must be fed meat or Kibble to produce dung; however, one should avoid feeding them wolfchops or rotten flesh.

Wolves will produce dung at a random delay - usually five to ten minutes - after being fed; each feeding will produce one dung.

Dung is primarily used in the creation of Tanned Leather.

Farming

The principal method of harvesting dung is to put the wolf on a floating block over a water flow, using a Dispenser to feed it.

Lacking easily-manipulable water, it is possible to place wolves on a floor of hoppers on all 8 sides, and manually collect from those, if you make sure the wolves are standing in total darkness.

Keep in Mind

• Dung will spoil any food in a Cauldron if placed inside.
• Wolves will produce Dung a random time after feeding, and will only eat when hungry.
• Wolves become hungry as soon as they poop.
• Keeping the wolf in the dark will increase production rate.
• Dung is violently propelled about three block away when produced.
• Rubbing a sheep with a piece of poo is not a viable way to alter its genetic structure.
• Both wolves pictured will not produce dung. 1 full block of space is required for production.
• Never feed wolves Rotten Flesh, use Kibble instead.
