Some Sheep naturally spawn with Wool colored in brown, white, gray, light gray, black, and pink, with white being the most common and pink being the rarest.
Obtaining
The main method of obtaining Wool is by either by Shearing or killing Sheep. Wool can also be crafted out of 4 pieces of String, which can be obtained by killing Spiders and shearing Cobwebs. Colored Wool can also be obtained by shearing/killing a Dyed Sheep or combining the Dye with the Wool in a Crafting Table.
After Update 1.0.4, Wool can also be Traded with Emeralds.
Crafting
- 4 String => 1 Wool
- 3 Wool + 3 Wooden Planks => 1 Bed
- 2 Wool => 3 Carpets
- 1 Wool + 1 Any Dye => 1 Colored Wool
Usage
Wool is mainly used for decoration. This is because it can be dyed a wide variety of colors. Wool can also be used to make Beds and Carpets.
Trivia
- No matter what color of Wool the Player uses, the color of a Bed will always be red in the default texture pack.
- This will be changed in Update 1.1, where beds can be dyed.
- Black Wool can be found in Villages as lamps.
- Wool is highly flammable.
- Before Update 0.7.5, Wool was not flammable.
- However, after Update 0.7.5, this bug was fixed.
- Upcoming: In Update 1.1, the textures of Wool will be changed.
