Minecraft – I need help with the Minecraft dog

I also have this problem and could only come up by accident with this partial solution. I hope it's not the actual way of doing it.

The problem is you need to have more than one porkchop in your inventory slot; then, when you right click on the dog, two porkchops will be consumed: the first by you, the second by the dog. You'll be able to see this is working because:

• You consume two porkchops per right click.
• The dog's tail raises.
• The dog does not toggle between sitting and standing stance (like it usually would do when "just" right clicking).

Basically:

1. Right click on dog to order him to sit.
2. Select porkchops.
3. Right click on dog until he stands up.

Now you have traded (a lot of) bacon for a fully healthy dog.

It is hard to see in your pictures but it looks like either un-rendered surface faces or the lighting bug. In both cases this is just the state of minecraft at this current time. The issues have been lingering and annoying.

If the surface blocks are not rendering but you can see below them and the render when you step on them, you can mitigate this by turning OFF advanced OpenGL. This will not remove the issue but it did help me significantly with my game and a few other people.

If it is that the blocks are just not lit then walk into them, update the chunk some how (place a torch) and it will update the lighting calculations. This is an acknowledged Mojang issue that they are looking at solving with out killing world generation performance.

Another thing to consider are the mods you are running.. Wallhack probably alters the rendering a bit ;)
