Netherhounds...

Hey guys. I managed to tame a few Netherhounds and took them home.

I built a pen for the netherhound pups, and went off to mine.

When I came back, all of them were gone...

Is it possible to have these guys as pets, that you know, don't unspawn?

use a nametag on them?

Does this actually work?

yes, using a nametag makes everything not despawn
even creepers
especially creepers

from the wiki:

Well alright! Luckily I looted a name tag from a spawner room. And it's sweet mossy cobblestone too...

I can't find any netherhounds. I am attempting to tame one.

I believe that this is a bug and doing this might be abusing the bug. Oh and this is the wrong forum.

JackBiggin said that we should think of this as a hidden easter egg It is only an exploit if people try to make loooads of cash out of it or something. But yes this is the wrong forum

Its not an exploit. Its an easter egg.

Well my 2 netherhounds sits still at 18882 smp9, no name-tagging. (even no fence )

I did not need nametags either Just egg them, bring them to my res, place them, use bones on them and there ya have it, never leave that residence after you make them sit

Does it still have its potion effects? If it does the netherhound easter egg can help us fight mobs

All I know is the fire goes and I wanit :3

What do netherhounds look like? I have never seen one.

They look like angered wolves that are on fire.

Well, netherhounds are enraged mobs. Test and touch a skeleton and see how many hits it takes the netherhound to kill the skeleton.

I just want fiaaaarrr! When it is in town
