What do sheep do on minecraft?

Answer 1

Sheep are passive mobs that will not kill you in any stage. They normally travel in herds, so it is common to see more that just one sheep in the area. Basically sheep just roam around, eat grass, and give you wool. A sheep will give you 1-3 pieces of wool upon shearing, (1-4 in X-Box 360 Edition), and 1 piece of wool upon death. You may dye an unsheared sheep any color with dyes, and upon shearing will regrow that color of wool regardless of the original color. Sheep will regrow wool once that have eaten grass, so if you have a sheep farm make sure that they have access to grass to regrow thier wool from. They will try to jump over objects when they reach them, which is funny with fences. Sheep may go into water without any hesitation so it is common to see a herd of sheep bobbing in the sea. Also, sheep cannot drown. You may guide a sheep to somewhere when you are holding wheat. You must have the wheat in your hand and the sheep will follow you. They produce no edible objects, only wool. You may dye regular white wool (or bleach wool with bone meal) with a crafting bench, yet you only get 1 block of colored wool, so it is more useful to dye a sheep and keep on shearing as you will get more pieces of wool this way.
