Talk:Sheep

Killable twice?
In trivia, it says "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". Is this true? -75.179.18.235 10:29, 17 September 2017 (UTC)


 * No, it's not. There were also some other mistakes in the trivia. But a dead sheep can be sheared, maybe that was meant and someone just messed it up somehow. – Fusseel 12:46, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Does breeding mixed colors work on all versions?
I'm on Bedrock v1.14.60 (on Nintendo Switch) and the rule about mixing colors doesn't hold true for it. For instance, breeding a red sheep and a yellow sheep results in a red or yellow sheep (50/50 chance), not an orange sheep. Same for white and black, white and red, blue and red, and blue and white--none of them result in blended-color sheep. Is this a JE-exclusive feature? Deprecated? Or a bug?

b1.2 - r1.2 Sheep are the wrong color.
From b1.2 to r1.2 the wool color on sheep and blocks were different and 3 had discolored tops if these could be properly rendered as I am unable to do renders. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by OwynL (talk • contribs) at 03:10, 11 May 2020 (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * When I looked it up, the dyed color code was not different. But the older version has a different lighting than the current one. The middle of the color curve in the top color seems to be stronger. Pneuma01 (talk) 11:39, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Colour/image order
Green appears before brown throughout the history table, and also in the infobox slideshow, but this is swapped compared to the data values. Yoshirulz (talk) 08:53, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Is the natural spawn chance for a pink sheep the same as the spawn chance with a spawn egg? – Unsigned comment added by Forest is a folf (talk • contribs) at 15:49, 19 September 2021 (UTC). Sign comments with
 * Yep. They both use `SheepEntity::initialize` and have the same (0.164%) chance of being pink. - Happy to help, ask me about the game code or datapacks. &#91;&#91;User:Lolad1089&#124;Lolad1089&#93;&#93; (talk) 16:38, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

jeb_ sheep color
I still feel like it should somehow be clarified that the color of a jeb_ sheep can still change (through dyeing, Evokers and any options that might be added in the future) while it's named jeb_. The current wording implies that's not the case.EHXNeo (talk) 14:45, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I changed it after testing. You can dye a jeb_ sheep but it doesn't change and continues showing the rainbow effect. Shearing wool from that sheep gives you a block of wool in the color of the dye most recently used. Amatulic (talk) 18:41, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That's basically what I meant. The rainbow effect remains, but the actual color of the sheep still changes despite not being visible.EHXNeo (talk) 11:12, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
