Sheep

Passive Mob

Health Points: 8

Sheep are passive mobs commonly found spawning on grass blocks in all Overworld biomes. When killed they will drop 1 wool, 1-2 raw mutton (cooked mutton if they were killed while on fire), and 1-3 experience if they were killed by a player or a tamed wolf. If they are sheared they will drop 1-3 wool. Baby sheep, when killed, will not drop anything.

Sheep will follow a player holding wheat within a six-block radius, and if two sheep are fed wheat by the player, they will enter love mode and breed, and the player will be rewarded with 1-7 experience. Those sheep will then not be able to enter love mode again for 5 minutes. It will take 20 minutes for the baby sheep to grow into an adult. The growth process can also be sped up by feeding the baby sheep wheat.

Sheep can be dyed using dye, after which their wool will remain that color, even if sheared.
