\nThat’s survival multiplayer<\/em> servers.<\/p>\n

We have been playing Minecraft almost daily since Beta 1.8 was released: through 1.8.1, pre-release 1, pr2, pr3, pr4, and pr5. Never in all that time (almost two months) have we seen wolves except<\/em> when first creating the world – and even that was rare. After that first login, wolves are just gone.<\/p>\n

We have flown around those maps* extensively looking specifically for wolves and, while seeing regular spawns of other animals, did not find a single one.<\/p>\n

I’ve found very little evidence of anyone else having this issue: exactly two hits on the entire internet. One asks for conformation of any wolf sightings in SMP<\/a> and the other is an attempt to verify animal spawn and despawn rates<\/a>, including some interesting wolf code. <\/p>\n

Creating a GetSatisfaction problem topic seems like a waste – once an issue is off the font page, it’s almost impossible to find. Or perhaps my topic was too wordy or not inflammatory enough.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if this is an isolated issue or if Mojang has any idea about it or it’s just that no one else in the world plays multiplayer, but I suppose that’s what mods are for.<\/p>\n
