Another use for wolves! Wolves periodically produce Dung as the result of mysterious biological processes. Wolves must be fed meat or Kibble to produce dung; however, one should avoid feeding them wolf chops. Wolves will produce dung at a random delay - usually five to ten minutes - after being fed; each feeding will produce a total one dung. Wolf Dung is extremely valued for its many uses.

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 as soon as it has produced its precious product.

Because the Mean Time Between Poops is not a definite number, it generally stands at about 1 per day, using 5 minute timers or the like is not advised, instead using pressure plates or detectors is advisable.

Lacking easily-manipulable water, it is possible to place wolves on a floor of hoppers with ladder filters. Meat will not pass through, allowing wolves to eat it; however, the dung will enter the hoppers and can be conveniently collected from below.

Needed For

• Tanning Scoured Leather in a Cauldron to produce Tanned Leather
• Dyeing vases brown
• Nether Growth

Keep in Mind

Wolf surrounded by solid blocks will not produce dung

Neither will wolf surrounded by transparent block

• 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.
• As of 3.95 wolves can no longer be fed rotten flesh, use Kibble instead
