Sheep

Sheep are passive herbivores that graze on grass when hungry, lowering movement speed while eating. They interact peacefully with players and can be bred by feeding them or dyed with dye powder. When attacked, they drop wool instead of taking damage (unless already sheared), and cannot be harmed if they are children or already sheared.

Special

Can be sheared by player attack to drop 1-3 wool blocks (color-coded by fleece). Can be dyed with dye powder to change fleece color. Spawns with 16 possible fleece colors determined randomly (white is most common). Can breed with other sheep when following a player.

Drops

• Wool ×1–3 (Dropped when sheared by player attack; color varies by fleece color)
• Raw Morsel ×0–2 (Standard death drop when not on fire)
• Cooked Morsel ×0–2 (Dropped when on fire at death)

Spawning

On grass blocks with light level greater than 8. Dyed sheep cannot despawn.
