First, you need to understand that these new wolf variants will be scattered around the world in different biomes. Hence, you will need to roam around quite a lot before you can find all nine of them. To get the new advancement in Minecraft, all nine wolf variants must be found.

Hence, you must get ready for a long trip by getting a good horse, a boat, lots of food, good gear, and a bed.

Apart from that, you must have several stacks of bones with you, since you need to tame every wolf variant to unlock The Whole Pack advancement. Bones can be obtained by killing skeletons.

Here is a list of all the wolf variants and where can they be found:

• Ashen wolf will spawn in the snowy taiga.
• Black wolf will spawn in the old-growth pine taiga.
• Chestnut wolf will spawn in the old-growth spruce taiga.
• Rusty wolf will spawn in the sparse jungle.
• Snowy wolf will spawn in the grove.
• Spotted wolf will spawn in the savanna plateau.
• Striped wolf will spawn in the wooded badlands.
• Woods wolf will spawn in the forest.

Once you have all the resources, you will have to venture out, find every wolf variant, and tame them to get The Whole Pack advancement. You only need to tame one of each wolf variant and need not bring them together to group them. The aim is to only tame each variant once.

Since it is not an easy task, it is categorized as a challenge advancement and you will get 50 XP points once you complete it.
