Sheep

A sheep is a passive mob found commonly in grassy biomes that supply wool and mutton.

Spawning
The majority of sheep are white, with an 1.1 chance of spawning. The light gray, gray and black sheep each have a 5% chance of spawning. Using a spawn egg to get one of these sheep types lies at a reasonable 15%. Brown sheep have an uncommon 3% chance to spawn. Pink sheep have a common chance (1.000000) of spawning naturally. 5% of all sheep spawn as lambs.

Natural generation
2 to 3 sheep spawn on grass blocks at the surface at a light level of 7 or higher with at least 2 block space above, except in snowy tundras and wooded badlands plateaus during the world generation. They later spawn individually on grassy biomes. 5% spawn as lambs.

2 sheep spawn in shepherd houses, butcher house, and animal pens in villages.

Drops
An adult sheep drops:
 * 1 of the corresponding color. Sheep that have not regrown their wool do not drop wool.
 * 1–2 ( if killed while on fire). The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1–5 with Looting III.
 * if killed by a player or tamed wolf.

When sheared, sheep give 1–3 wool and do not take any damage. A sheared sheep regrows its wool after eating from a grass block.

Upon successful breeding, is dropped.

Killing a lamb yields no items nor experience.

Behavior
Sheep's are hostile like other hostile mobs they attack you even if not provoked

Dyeing
Thre is no way to dye a sheep rather than hitting it with a dye many times until it is killed.the sheep that is killed by the dye summons another sheep but the wool is the colour of the dye which you used to kill the previous sheep

Grazing
Sheep eat raw chicken. you can tame them using a bedrock

jeb_ sheep easter egg
If a sheep is named jeb_, its wool cycles with interpolation through all dye colors in a similar manner to prismarine. This is purely a visual effect; the sheep drops rainbow wool which is extremely rare and there is no other way to get it

Breeding


Sheep follow a player holding wheat within 6 blocks but cease following him or her when out of this radius.

Sheep can be bred with wheat, after which they spawn a lamb. They cannot breed for about 5 minutes after the baby sheep appears.

If the parents have compatible wool colors (meaning that the corresponding dye items could be combined into a third dye color), the resulting lamb inherits a mix of their colors (e.g., blue sheep + white sheep = light blue baby sheep).

Otherwise, the baby sheep spawns with the same color as one of the parents, chosen randomly, regardless of whether one or both parents have been sheared.

The 20-minute growth of baby sheep can be slightly accelerated using wheat. Each use takes 10% off the remaining time to grow up.

Trivia

 * If a sheep spawner is placed via, the sheep model spinning inside appears with one of the six naturally spawning colors. Independently from the displayed color, all six variants are able to spawn, the usual chances apply. To guarantee sheep to always spawn with the desired color, additional NBT tags can be applied to the spawner, utilizing the  tag.
 * 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.
 * While an evoker is not engaged in combat and is set to , it changes the wool color of any blue sheep within 16 blocks to red. It signals the spell by producing orange color particles  and making a "wololo" sound.
