Dye your sheep different colours and build with their wool.
- New skill Dyes and shears
- Level 1 · The Village
- Difficulty Beginner
- Mode Creative
- Time 30–40 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Give your flock a rainbow makeover. You'll use dyes to colour your sheep, shear them to collect bundles of wool and watch it grow back. Then turn all that colour into something you designed, like a rug, a flag or a rainbow.
Finish line: You have at least three colourful sheep and something built from their wool.
Bonus challenge: Breed two different coloured sheep with wheat and see what colour the baby is. Was your guess right?
You’ll need
- Dyes in several colours
- Shears
- Sheep
You choose
- Colours for each sheep
- My wool build (rainbow, rug, flag…)
- Which sheep I'll keep as a pet
Stuck?
- Wool won't grow back? Sheep need grass blocks to eat, so keep them on grass, not on planks or stone.
- Dyeing is permanent. Every future bundle of wool from that sheep will be the new colour.
- Babies from two sheep with mixable colours may come out a blend, so plan pairs if you want a surprise.
