Complete gameplay guides, the latest releases, changelogs, source code, and other project information are available on GitHub.

Getting Started

There are two ways to become a werewolf:

1. Become infected while being attacked by a wolf or Feral Werewolf, then wait for your werewolf bloodline to awaken on a later night.
2. Use a Werewolf Potion to awaken immediately.

Once awakened:

• Press J to transform into Werewolf Form or return to human form when the current rules allow it.
• Press K to open the Werewolf Progression screen.
• Hunt creatures while transformed to gain werewolf experience.
• Spend your progression points to improve attributes and learn new abilities.

Transformations & Progression

Discover three distinct werewolf forms:

• Werewolf Form — A powerful humanoid wolf with enhanced strength, sharp claws, and unique supernatural abilities. Press J to transform.
• Quadruped Wolf Form — Take on the form of a four-legged wolf, using enhanced speed and jumping abilities to roam freely through the wilderness. Unlock the Wildstride Form skill and press G to switch forms.
• Beast Form — An imposing and powerful ultimate transformation, unlocked by completing the Alpha Trial. Once unlocked, press H to switch forms.

The mod features a dedicated leveling system and skill tree. Gain experience through hunting, increase your level, improve your attributes, and gradually unlock new active and passive abilities.

Learn special skills such as Moonblood Surge, Long Claws, Fire Claws, and Bloody Bite, and develop your own unique combat style.

Hunters, Silver & the Alpha Trial

With the power of a werewolf come new dangers.

Encounter Hunters throughout the world, beware of their dangerous Silver weapons, discover the effects of Wolfsbane on werewolves, and explore new equipment and items related to werewolf survival. Crafting the Alpha Badge is recommended to enhance your gameplay experience.

When you believe you have grown strong enough, perform the Moon-Oath Ritual to begin the Alpha Trial.

Defeat the Silver-Oath Watchers and confront the formidable Moon-Crowned Alpha Werewolf in a multi-stage boss battle.

Overcome the Alpha, prove your strength, and unlock the ultimate Beast Form!

Skins & Customization

The mod includes multiple built-in werewolf skins, each available across all three transformation forms, allowing you to choose your preferred appearance.

Want something more personal? Create your own werewolf skins using Blockbench painting templates exported directly from the game, then load them through Minecraft resource packs.

The mod also offers a variety of configurable gameplay settings, allowing you to customize progression speed, transformation mechanics, and other gameplay features to suit your preferences.
