Werewolves

By day it is just a grey wolf in the forest. When the sun goes down it rises on two legs, four blocks tall, and goes hunting. Only silver can stop it.

⬇ iPad, phone, console & Windows: Bedrock ⬇ Mac & PC: Java Edition All versions

Which one do I need? Playing on an iPad, iPhone, Android, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch or Minecraft for Windows? That is Bedrock Edition – take the first download. Playing on a computer with the Minecraft Java Edition launcher (Mac, Windows or Linux)? Take the Java download. Not sure? If you bought Minecraft in the App Store or Google Play, it is Bedrock.

Latest version: 0.1.0

Install

Install on iPad, phone, console or Windows (Bedrock)

  1. Download Werewolves.mcaddon on your Windows PC, Android phone or tablet, or iPhone or iPad.
  2. Open the file. Minecraft starts and imports both packs.
  3. Create or edit a world. Under Behavior Packs, turn on Werewolves. The resource pack is added automatically.
  4. Explore a forest or taiga, or use the spawn egg from the creative inventory – and wait for nightfall.

Running a server? Use the separate behavior pack and resource pack. Xbox, PlayStation and Switch can’t import add-ons from files, but you can join a world or Realm that has the add-on.

Install on Mac or PC (Java Edition)

  1. Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.3.
  2. Download Werewolves-fabric.jar, plus Fabric API and GeckoLib.
  3. Put all three files in your mods folder and start Minecraft with the Fabric profile.
  4. Explore a forest or taiga, or find the spawn egg and silver in the Werewolves creative tab.

Upgrading to a new version

  1. Download the new version and open the file. A newer version replaces the one you have, and your worlds use it the next time you load them.
  2. Still running the old version? (or Minecraft says it is already installed): go to Settings → Storage, delete Werewolves under both Resource Packs and Behavior Packs, then open the new file again.
  3. Check the world: in the world’s Edit screen, under Behavior Packs and Resource Packs, make sure Werewolves is active. A world you imported or downloaded can carry its own old copy: deactivate it there, save, and activate the new one.

On a server, replace the add-on’s folders in behavior_packs and resource_packs with the new ones and restart it.

Delete the old Werewolves jar from your mods folder and put the new one in its place. Keep only one version in the folder. If the new version needs a newer Fabric API or GeckoLib, update those too.

Two forms

By day: a wolf

By day: a wolf

A grey wolf roaming forests and taigas. It hunts sheep and rabbits and leaves you alone – unless you hit it.

By night: a werewolf

By night: a werewolf

At dusk it howls and rises on two legs, four blocks tall. It hunts players and villagers, shrugs off half the damage from ordinary weapons, and is immune to falls. Iron golems fight it.

How to survive the night

Silver

Craft a silver ingot from an iron ingot and an amethyst shard. Two ingots and a stick make a silver sword.

The silver sword

Deals triple damage to a werewolf in its beast form – the only weapon that really hurts it.

Daybreak

At sunrise the beast shrinks back into an ordinary wolf. Hide until morning, and it is easy prey.

Peaceful

On Peaceful difficulty werewolves never hunt players.
