So as nooby as it sounds, I cant tame two of the wolves on display at my shop. I have fed them meat to grow up, as well as trying to give them bones to tame them, yet to no avail. Any advice/reasoning why it wouldn't be working?
If you are in the wild/waste and their eyes are red they sense the mobs and can't be tamed. If you are in town then re-egg and try taming with bones again.
First: is this your residence or someone elses? Because if it's someone elses then be sure that you got the right permission flags to perform the taming. How much bones did you give them? Sometimes it can take a few before they get satisfied, it's really a random factor, but if you went over 32 then you can indeed conclude that things don't work. Another thing popping to mind: /entc. Check that there aren't too many entities already. Though I don't think this should matter (nothing really changes afterall) there is a chance that it might have some influence. Finally... You say that you fed them meat to speed up their growth. Make sure they're really grown up. Mistook my mobs here This doesn't apply to wolves, you can even tame young ones. Which would be my suggestion: don't bother trying to grow them up, just start taming them. Then raise them after that.
