MCPE-8160Wolves Self Replicating
I tamed one wolf. I ran away with it into the wilderness. Now I just keep gaining hoards of them everytime I walk anywhere. I am not feeding them. I started leaving one sitting in my house and kill the rest, as they seem to duplicate less quickly that way when I leave. I am not feeding/breeding/taming them. I am not even in an area that spawns wild wolves. All the wolves have collars when they populate and obey sit/stand commands without being tamed individually. Ongoing for approx two days.

Forgot to note, this is in Survival mode.
Well at least you have protection! Hee hee.
Are other animals/mobs generating normally around you or are you only getting wolves?
No other mobs appear to be self replicating. Only the wolves. I am going to experiment with walking slowly and avoiding water crossings.
Killed all wolves except one. Walked around the village. No duplicates. Cut across country for five minutes. Already got two new wolf buddies. Unsure if they are populating because I walk faster in open ground, because I am crossing water (hard to avoid in the current terrain) or just over time.
So I dug a perfectly straight tunnel through a mountain, and ran backwards. Wolves will "pop" in front of me to keep up, but do not appear to be replicating when they do so. However, I quit to title at the far end of he tunnel and.... Just got four new buddies. They were NOT there before I quit (narrow, long, well lit tunnel that I had been hanging around in for while), so they couldn't have just wandered in from the wilderness, unless these are special spirit wolves that can pass through solid stone blocks. Which would be super fly if they didn't spirit mob me off cliff faces.
Hey K,
I wasn't asking if other mobs were self replicating, I was wondering if you see any other mobs at all. Perhaps every mob is spawning as a tame wolf?
Also, let us know if you have any mods, inventory editors, etc. installed.
Hello.
I am still seeing plenty of baby cows, pigs, sheep in the wilds. They are killed periodically as I travel, and I still see them again when I pass through the same areas.
I have nothing external to the game installed. Minecraft pe from the App Store, and that's all. No devices jail broken, etc.
I will note that mobs seem to spawn more quickly if the difficulty level is set higher, though I am sure this is by design.
Confirmed for 0.10.4 on iPhone 6 plus (iOS 8.2). I have observed this several times in the past, though I am currently unable to reliably reproduce it. In my experience, this occurs when closing/reopening the world immediately after commanding a wolf to sit. The tamed wolves visibly spawn one meter above the current wolf(s).
Observed in survival mode with difficulty set to peaceful, in the biomes Roofed Forest, Mushroom Island, and Beach.
I've also experienced this on 0.10.5 on android 5.0 on my LG g3.
I've also experienced new, tamed wolves spawning in 0.11.x - same system.
Bizarrely, in the latter instance, the wolves would spawn inside a block of glass in the side of my house. Had to break the glass to get them to stand and move.
All instances happened in survival mode.
I tamed 2 wolves a week ago, but i have16 wolves now, (not including 3 wolves that i accidentally killed). Every time i'm visiting a village, 5 ~7 wolves appears
Does this still apply in 0.11.1?
Fixed as of 1.0.2. (Actually, it was almost definitely fixed much earlier... but reports can't be given archived versions as their fix version.)
