Sheep act like most passive mobs; they wander around aimlessly, usually avoiding falling off cliffs high enough to cause damage, and usually staying out of water. They can be heard bleating occasionally.

Trivia

  • If a sheep spawner is placed via /setblock, there will be a black sheep model spinning inside, and it will spawn only naturally spawning sheep colors; unless you add custom NBT tags to determine color. If custom NBT tags are added to determine color a white sheep still has the usual chance of being a different color.
  • Sheep can eat grass through partial blocks, and also while moving in minecarts.
  • Sheep cannot fit through the gap if the 90 degree intersection of two fences is removed whereas the player (and most other mobs) can get through easily.
  • A dead sheep can be "killed again" before its body turns into smoke and disappears, causing it to drop wool and mutton a second time.
  • When a sheep is spawned on a fence, it will not fall off the fence but it can move to any adjacent fences. You can make it fall off the fence by leading it off with wheat.
    • When a sheep is spawned on a wall, it will fall into it.

Lambs, like other baby animals, do not drop items or experience. They also cannot be sheared for their wool.

Breeding

An example of how a bred sheep will be a mixture of its parents` colors when possible.

Sheep can be bred with wheat, after which they spawn a baby sheep (or lamb), and cannot breed for 5 minutes. If the parents have `compatible` wool colors (meaning that the corresponding dye Dyes Type Items Durability N/A Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) First appearances See history Data value dec: 351 hex: 15F bin: 101011111 Name dye Dyes are a set of 16 items used to change the color of wool, minecraft items could be combined into a third dye color), the resulting lamb will be a mix of their colors (e.g., blue sheep + white sheep = light blue lamb). Else, the lamb will be the same color as one of the parents, chosen at random. It doesn`t matter if either parent has been sheared.

The growth of baby sheep can be slowly accelerated using wheat. Each use takes 10% off the remaining time to grow up.

In Pocket Edition the sheep will always share its color with one of its parents.

    Appearance

    A group of dyed adult sheep, and their colored offspring.

    An adult sheep measures about 1.25 blocks tall, 0.625 blocks wide, and 1.4375 blocks long. Like sheep in the real world, they walk on all fours. Sheep naturally spawn with white, Brown, Black, Gray, Light Gray, and very rarely, Pink wool. However, the majority of sheep spawn with white wool. In order of rarity, natural sheep colors occur as follows:

    • White (82.8%)
    • Brown (3%)
    • Black (5%)
    • Light Gray (5%)
    • Gray (5%)
    • Pink (0.2%)

    Through Dyeing, it is also possible for sheep to come in the following additional colors:

    • Red
    • Orange
    • Yellow
    • Lime Green
    • Cactus Green
    • Light Blue
    • Cyan
    • Blue
    • Magenta
    • Purple

    Rainbow Sheep

    Sheep named "jeb_" with a Name Tag are a new type of sheep released in update 1.7.4. Disco sheep (also called Jeb sheep and rainbow sheep) can be created when a player names a spawn egg "jeb_", or by using a name tag to name an existing sheep "jeb_". When the sheep spawns, it`s wool will constantly cycle through the 16 possible colors with a fading rainbow effect.

    Despite popular rumors, the color of wool a disco sheep will drop is unaffected by its rainbow coloring. Instead, it will drop wool of its original color before the rainbow effect was added.

    Behavior

    Sheep are passive mobs that wander around the overworld. When they encounter an obstacle, they will often try to jump over it (sometimes even when the obstacle cannot be overcome). They run away when attacked. They will make no attempt to stay out of Water, and it is common to see several sheep bobbing in the water, along with other animals. Sheep often Spawn in groups of 2-8. All sheep behave the same, regardless of color, except when struck by Lightning.

    Naturally, sheep will roam around and eat Grass. When a sheep eats grass, they make a crunching sound similar to that of placing down or walking on a Dirt block. After consuming grass, the block the sheep has eaten from will become bare dirt, until grass regrows on it. In the case of Tall Grass, the block will just vanish. However, if /gamerule mobGriefing is set to false, the block will stay as grass and not change to dirt.

    Farming

    Sheep can easily be farmed by placing them within a Fenced area since they cannot jump out. Sheep will follow a player while
    Wheat
    is held in their hand. They can be difficult to `corral` into a fenced area without wheat because they tend to run to the nearest opening in the fence or exit through a hole.

    One method to capturing sheep is to dig a 2-block-deep hole. Make it as wide as desired. Sheep can be pushed in, led in with wheat, or one can simply wait for them to fall in themselves. Lure them to an underground producing station (or somewhere with a roof over it) to keep wolves away. Pigs, cows, and many other land mobs can be caught in this way as well.

    When a sheep is sheared, their skin will be exposed and polka-dotted white. The patches are always white, regardless of the color of the wool. Their ears are also exposed at the sides of their heads. Sheep will regrow their wool sometime after they have been sheared, though, in order for them to do this, they will need to eat grass or tall grass. Sunlight must also reach the area where they are penned in. It can easily be told when a sheep has re-grown its wool as its appearance will change from the patchy "shorn" look to normal.

    Dyes can be applied directly to sheep, and shearing colored sheep produces dyed wool blocks of the corresponding color. This can be a more efficient method for dyeing wool for building projects since sheep drop up to three wool blocks when sheared. Sheep can be dyed any color by right-clicking them while dye is held in hand.

    Sheep can be multiplied by feeding two sheep, that are standing close to each other,
    Wheat
    . A baby Lamb is produced, which has a big head and small body, like other baby mobs. If killed, lambs drop nothing, and wool can only be obtained from them after they grow into adults. If two parent sheep are of the same color, they produce a lamb of the same color. For example, if two sheep are dyed Red,and they are bred then their lamb will be a red sheep as well. Breeding two different colored sheep will either create a white sheep, a sheep of one the parent`s colors, or a mixture of the two.

    Drops

    • 1 Wool when killed by a player, 3 if sheared
    • Raw Mutton
