Pet Summoning Whistle

The Summoning Whistle calls all your pet wolves to your side, even if they are sitting or stuck in tricky places like caves.
v1.0.0+ the whistle now allows you to despawn and respawn your wolves!
Immortal Loyalty
- Your wolves will never truly leave your side.
Wolves respawn when you sleep. Even if one dies while you’re away, it’ll still be saved for your next adventure.
No More Friendly Fire
- Accidental hits are a thing of the past!
Wolves no longer take damage from the player’s attacks.
Your Friend In Need
