Black sheep

Black Sheep are passive mobs that first appeared in Beta mode. The main purpose of black sheep is to supply wool; a building material. Black sheep are 1.25 blocks tall, 0.625 blocks wide and 1.4375 blocks long.

Behavior
Black sheep wander around aimlessly. When they come to an obstacle they will often try to breach it by jumping, which makes for some odd behavior when at obstacles they cannot overcome. Black sheep often spawn with regular sheep. Like other passive mobs, they are attracted to lights, and can somtimes be seen jumping up and down on a Torch or other light source.

Appearance

 * Black sheep are one of the only mobs to spawn with both a separate body and armor file; the other being regular sheep.

Drops

 * 1-3 Wool blocks (on hit)

Sheep do not drop cloth if they are damaged by cacti, lava, or falling; only by being hit. This means that it is not possible to collect cloth blocks using a mob grinder trap. (However, cloth can be crafted from string dropped by spiders.)
