Minecraft:Wool

Template:Infobox block Wool is a Minecraft:block obtained from Minecraft:sheep that can be Minecraft:dyed in any of the sixteen different colors. It can be used as a crafting material and to block Minecraft:vibrations.

Obtaining

Breaking

Wool can be broken using any Minecraft:tool, but Minecraft:shears are the fastest tool to use.

Natural generation

Woodland Mansion

All wool colors (except magenta, pink, and purple) generate naturally as part of structures within Minecraft:woodland mansions.

Village

White and yellow wool generate in shepherd houses, fletcher houses, and meeting points in Minecraft:plains Minecraft:villages.

10 light gray wool generate under the Minecraft:door and on the floor of Snowy_small_house_8 in Minecraft:snowy tundra villages.

Pillager outpost

White wool generates as tents outside Minecraft:pillager outposts.

Ancient city

Gray wool appears on some walls and on the floors of long corridors at the corners of an Minecraft:ancient city. The wool damps vibrations, preventing activation of nearby sculk blocks. Ancient cities can also generate blue, cyan, and light blue wool.

Mob loot

Template:Control Minecraft:shears on an adult Minecraft:sheep yields 1–3 wool. Sheep also drop 1 wool upon death, if they are not sheared. The wool dropped is the same color as the sheep, unless the sheep is named jeb_, in which case the sheep drops whatever color the sheep truly is instead of rainbow wool. The drop rates are not affected by the Minecraft:Fortune or Minecraft:Looting Minecraft:enchantments. Baby sheep cannot be sheared.

Sheep can spawn with different colors. The most common color is determined by the type of Minecraft:biome the sheep spawns in. In temperate biomes the most common color is white, in cold biomes it is black and in warm biomes it is brown. However sheep can spawn in all three of these colors, and light and dark grey, in all biomes. Sheep can also naturally spawn with pink wool but this has a rare chance.<ref>https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-1-21-70-bedrock-changelog</ref>

Villager gifts

Template:IN, a shepherd Minecraft:villager may throw a block of wool of random color at a player under the Minecraft:Hero of the Village effect.

Usage

Wool comes in sixteen colors, which are white, light gray, gray, black, brown, red, orange, yellow, lime, green, cyan, light blue, blue, purple, magenta, and pink. Unlike Minecraft:stained glass and Minecraft:terracotta, the white variant serves as the undyed block. Wool of any color can be re-dyed into any other color.

Wool is easily mined, highly flammable, and offers little resistance against Minecraft:explosions.

Vibration occlusion

Wool can be used to block Minecraft:vibrations from reaching nearby Minecraft:sculk sensors. If a wool block is placed between a sensor and a vibration source, the sensor is not able to detect vibrations behind it. Similarly, if a wool block is placed between a sensor and a Minecraft:sculk shrieker, the sensor is unable to alert the shrieker.

Sculk sensors are not able to detect the placing and breaking of wool, as well as entities Minecraft:walking, Minecraft:sprinting, or Minecraft:jumping on top of it. They are also unable to detect items dropped on wool, or wool itself dropped in item form.

Similar to sculk sensors, Minecraft:wardens are also unable to detect everything wool-related as listed above.

Wool can also be used to block note block sounds from reaching allays.

Crafting ingredient

Any color of wool can be used for paintings, but it has no effect on the product's final appearance.

Fuel

Template:IN, wool can be used as fuel in Minecraft:furnaces and their variants, smelting 0.5 items per wool block.
