Update 0.2.0 |
Sheep are Passive Mobs that were added in Update 0.2.0.
Spawning[]
Sheep spawn on Grass Blocks in Light Level 9 or above. They often spawn in flocks of 4 during world generation.
Behavior[]
Sheep behave like most other Passive Mobs - they wander aimlessly, and avoid Water, occasionally bleating or consuming grass from a Grass Block.
Shearing[]
Shears can be used to shave a Sheep's Wool off, giving the Player 1-3 wool. The Wool grows back when the Sheep grazes. Baby Sheep cannot be sheared.
Dyeing[]
Since Update 0.6.0, Sheep can be dyed by tapping and holding a Sheep using a Dye. If sheared or killed after being dyed, they drop the color of wool they are dyed. Some Sheep will spawn naturally with a dyed color of pink, black, gray, light gray, white, or brown.
Breeding[]
Sheep are attracted towards equipped Wheat and can be Bred using it. When bred, a baby Sheep of one of the parents' colors will spawn. Although, some colors may mix to create a new color. For example, if the Player breeds a red Sheep and a yellow Sheep together, the baby might be an orange Sheep, however, color mixing does not apply to all Sheep pairings.
