See Bedrock Edition level format/Entity format. Sheep have entity data associated with them that contain various properties. Sheep use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events. Sheep are nonchalant to players or other mobs, but follow a player holding wheat within a six blocks radius.Īdult sheep cannot fit through a gap if the 90-degree intersection of two fences is removed whereas the player and most other mobs can get through easily. If harmed, sheep flee for a few seconds, but make no special attempt to avoid wolves. Sheep emit hoarse bleats in mostly random patterns and especially when attacked. Sheep avoid cliffs and hazardous areas if it warrants damage. Sheep wander aimlessly and individually or in small flocks of two to four. Killing a baby sheep yields no items nor experience. Upon successful breeding, 1–7 is dropped. This is not affected by Fortune or Looting. When sheared, sheep give 1–3 wool and do not take any damage. 1–3 experience orbs if killed by a player or tamed wolf.The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1–5 with Looting III. 1–2 raw mutton ( cooked mutton if killed while on fire or when in water using a sword with fire aspect).Sheep that have not regrown their wool do not drop wool. Two sheep sometimes spawn in shepherd houses, butcher houses and animal pens in villages. They later spawn individually on grassy biomes. In Bedrock Edition, 2 to 3 sheep spawn during the world generation on grass blocks at the surface at a light level of 7 or higher with at least a 2 block space above, except in snowy taigas, snowy plains, ice spikes or wooded badlands. In Java Edition, 4 sheep may spawn above grass blocks, at a light level of 9 or higher, even on snowy taigas. To guarantee that sheep always spawn with the desired color, additional NBT tags can be applied to the monster spawner, utilizing the Color tag. Independently from the displayed color, all six variants are able to spawn, the usual chances apply. If a sheep monster spawner is placed via / setblock, the sheep model spinning inside appears with one of the six naturally spawning colors. Pink sheep have a rare chance of 0.164% of spawning naturally. Brown sheep have an uncommon 3% chance to spawn. The light gray, gray and black sheep each have a 5% chance of spawning, or a 15% chance collectively. The majority of sheep are white, with an 81.836% chance of spawning.
