Howlmark

Charges forged wolf armor so your companion growls and glows when a stranger comes near — a sentinel, not a soldier.

How it works​

Howlmark charges wolf armor forged on a Runic Anvil, turning your wolf into a sentinel. Hold the armor and wake the lattice around its calibrated sculk sensor.

A tamed wolf wearing the armor growls and glows whenever a player other than its owner comes within 16 blocks. The wolf only warns: it never attacks the stranger. The blessing never runs out.

Server owners can change the reach with radius.

Enchantment​

The enchantment is called Howlmark. Hold wolf armor while you wake the rune.
