Re: NO Wolves or Cactus?

So I've searched EVERY part of my world only to find that there are NO wolves or cactus. I have barely any desert regions (which look like small islands) within my land and I've gone in and spent 3 Minecraft days looking through them just for cactus, can't find them. Another thing, wolves, where the heck are they? I've been told they may spawn within forest regions, however I barely have any forest regions as well. Mainly it's Tundra and flat mountainous land. If ANYONE has any knowledge of the subject I'll take it. Thanks!

It sounds to me like you just need to generate another random world, or try a seed. If you do a google search for "Minecraft 360 seeds" you can find a bunch of seeds with descriptions.

My random world has no desert at all and is mostly snowy forest and I've seen many wolves in the snowy forest area. If you have an area like that you might want to check it for wolves before you generate a whole new world. The sightings are pretty random it seems like. Sometimes I'll see four or five in a pack, sometimes just one and sometimes I can't find any.

yeaaa I really don't want to do that. I've got two very large skyscrapers and a very nice cottage/farm going and I'd rather not get rid of my mines... It's just disappointing to think that the map wouldn't generate at least ONE of everything. Appreciate your advice though!

I found the wolves at dusk and dawn....and the Cactus sounds like my pumpkins. I have found ONE pumpkin :D Can I grow these yet ?

No not yet. According to Minecraftwiki.com it states that pumpkin seeds were added in 1.9 at the release of Minecraft for PC. I'm assuming they will add this in with the next update however. I'm glad you found at least ONE pumpkin though because I would really like to find a cactus haha. =p

Good luck with the cactus :) guess I'll have to put my SINGLE pumpkin in a safe place for now.

haha yea. "Place chest." "Place obsidian,  place obsidian, place obsidian..."

Are you trying to find wolves just for the Achievement?  If you are, you could start a new world, get the Achievement, and then go back to your present world.  I find wolves in the places with the cookies-and-cream trees.

You sir are a genius haha. I forgot that you can start multiple worlds.

Popogeejoe:

Duplicate it.  I know, I know, some people think it's cheap to dupe stuff... but when you have issues finding stuff in this game (clay, pumpkins, cactus, etc) duping it is a viable solution.  

I thought clay wasn't coming out until the update? If it really is in the game where can I possibly find it? I've spent hours down in mines and am pretty experienced with mining but I've never came across it.

If all else fails I just may do that.

Yea I did and I've found 8 cactus, a pumpkin and a wolf. The wolf however was swimming in the middle of the ocean and I tried to carol him into a box but it didn't work...

I had to find it via a guide by another forum member:

Start a new world, use the seed "Monkeys", capital M.  At spawn, open your map and head SE.  You'll pass a snowy beach and see sugar canes.  Head for the sugar canes.  You'll find a clay deposit at the foot of a hill about 20 blocks past the canes, in sand.

Starting a new world isn't a big deal, IMO, because you can load saved games pretty quickly.  The biggest pain is losing your inventory... but that's easily addressed if you duplicate...

"Monkeys" also has wolves... but they're to the far west of spawn, in a snowy forest.

Thanks man I found the clay fairly easily. Found wolves too so I just need to get some bones together. This world is very nice too, only problem is there seems to be very few mines, but I can live with that haha. Thanks again!

I had lots of wolves at the start of my world. I'm playing on peaceful. I plan on getting 1 bone and duping it. (I know it's cheap). I now can't find any more wolves which is really annoying.

Hey I have the same problem with that cactus. I have a bunch of island of sand but no cactus. Where did you find your.?

heh try my gamertag as a seed (all lower case). It has wolves and other stuff

my seed has no wolves. no cactus, and no clay...... wtf....... so much for my brick inclosed doghouse cactus garden.

EVERY seed that has Forest, Taiga, or Tundra has wolves.  They are not generated like the terrain, although their appearance is limited to those specific terrain types.  Wolves, however, appear rather infrequently.

Thanks Palmtop!  That is immensely useful.  I'm a little scared about the one that crashes the Xbox though.  I only wish it worked for clay/bricks!  I have zero.

No problem. Invite me to your world and I might be able to find some.

I actually looked pretty hard yesterday where the X axis and Z axis are the same (I have a world that was fully generated before the clay patch).  While there are plenty of instances on my map where X and Z meet on sand (both above and below water), I could find no clay there or in the immediate vicinity.  One of my next plans is to build a giant underwater base all the way in the NW corner (I already have a pretty impressive underwater glass tunnel to it leading from my other underwater base in the middle north of the map).  Its possible I might find some in the process, although I don't hold out much hope.

I've never bothered looking for clay on any of my maps that were created and fully explored pre-clay fix update, but I've had no issues locating them on post-update maps. Search the outer most coasts of the maps. 

EDIT: Going to try a theory out on one of my old maps and see if I can find some-- I'll let you know. 

is a pumpkin really worth an obsidian tomb?

What is an Obsidian Tomb?  I can tell you that pumpkin is infinitely more valuable than obsidian, since I can create endless obsidian with lava and water, but there are only a few pumpkins on each map (and no pumpkins in some maps).

really?

i always have an abundance in every world guess i got lucky. (lucky? nah im sick of jackolanterns)

Clay isn't in mines though it's outside usually next to water I find all my clay at the water edge and yeah I got the same thing u got no catus at all I search for days too I even had a search party and nothing ... Any way I can make another world and bring it to mine ?

No there is no way to move things inbetween worlds (sadly).

Same problem :( and I need cactus for my dye

one time I was in a forest and I saw maybee 15-20 wolves all in the same place, it was pretty wild, but I didn't have any bones with me so I couldn't tame them :(

I also have no cactus but plenty of wolves I mostly found the wolves in forests like you said.
