Sheep are passive mobs that spawn naturally in the Overworld. They are useful mobs as the player can take wool from them. They give wool which is necessary to make beds

Shearing[]

Shears can also be used to shear sheep. When the player Shears the sheep, it will drop 1-3 wool. After sheared, sheep will look bare, but will get their wool back after they eat some grass. When they eat the grass, the block will turn into dirt.

Breeding[]

Sheep can breed using wheat. When sheep breed, a baby sheep will appear. The baby will have the color that it's parents have. However, if two sheep with different colors breed, then the baby will not have the same color. For example if a yellow and a red sheep breed, the baby might be orange.

Dyeing[]

Sheep can be dyed by holding a dye and tapping the sheep with it. When dyed sheep sheared, they will drop the color that their wool has. However, some sheep will spawn naturally being dyed.
