This tool will place animals in your Minecraft map, if there are no animals existing. This can happen to old maps after upgrading to Minecraft >= Beta 1.8.
It tries to simulate the standard Minecraft animal spawning mechanism. Spawning wolves is a bit problematic, they only spawn in forest biomes, but it is (IMHO) not possible to read out the used biome for a chunk. So this tool tries to figure out where a forest could be (where are many trees?).
Before you do this, PLEASE backup your Map. I could not see any problems, but just in case...
- Python 2.x (http://www.python.org)
- pymclevel (https://github.com/codewarrior0/pymclevel. Just place the pymclevel into the root directory of this tool)
- numpy (Needed by pymclevel. http://numpy.scipy.org/)
- wxPython (http://wxpython.org/. Make sure you use an Unicode-enabled version!)
Launch animalfix.py, select the directory of your Minecraft map and click "Lets do it!".
Then you have to wait quite a long time. My map is ~ 50 MiB large and it took about 15 minutes to fix it (running on Fedora 14 with an Phenom II X4 965).
There is an EXE file for Windows (32-bit, should also work on 64-bit), so you do not have to download Python and tons of other software. Just unzip the archive and execute mcanimalfix.exe. Download: https://github.com/downloads/silvasur/mcanimalfix/mcanimalfix_win32.zip
NOTE: pymclevel is not my work. It was originally witten by codewarrior0. See https://github.com/codewarrior0/pymclevel/blob/master/LICENSE.txt for pymclevel's license.
