In Java Edition, a shepherd villager may throw a block of wool of random color at a player under the Hero of the Village effect. In Java Edition, apprentice-level shepherd villagers have a 2⁄ 7 chance of selling one or two colored wool for an emerald, giving each wool color a 1⁄ 56 (roughly 1.786%) chance of being offered. In Bedrock Edition, apprentice-level shepherd villagers have a 50% chance to sell one colored wool for an emerald, giving each wool color a 1⁄ 32 (3.125%) chance of being offered.

Getting a sheep of a different color requires dyeing the sheep. White, light gray, gray, black, brown, and (rarely) pink wool can be found naturally on sheep. The drop rates are not affected by the Fortune or Looting enchantments. The wool dropped is the same color as the sheep. If unshorn, sheep drop 1 wool upon death.

Using shears on an adult sheep yields 1-3 wool. Ancient cities can also generate blue, cyan, and light blue wool. The wool damps vibrations, preventing activation of nearby sculk blocks.

Gray wool appears on some walls and on the floors of long corridors at the corners of an ancient city. White wool generates as tents outside pillager outposts. White and yellow wool generate in shepherd houses, fletcher houses, and meeting points in plains villages.Ī block of light gray wool generates under the door in one type of small house in snowy tundra villages. Wool can be broken using any tool, but shears are the fastest tool to use.Īll wool colors (except magenta, light blue‌, pink, and purple) generate naturally as part of structures within woodland mansions.
