Minecraft sheep: wool, dyes and lamb colors
The sheep is the animal you will see most in grassy biomes, and it is where almost all of the game's wool comes from. In Java they spawn in groups of 4 on grass blocks at light level 9 or above, even in snowy taigas, but never in the pale garden. The color a sheep is born with depends on the biome, and villages sometimes keep pairs in shepherd and butcher houses and in animal pens.
Shearing it gives 1 to 3 wool without hurting it, and neither Fortune nor Looting changes that amount. The wool only grows back after the sheep grazes: it eats short grass and ferns, and turns grass blocks into dirt. Pen one up with no grass and it stays bare for good. Any dye changes its color as long as it has wool, and the color stays even after shearing.
Sheep breed with wheat and follow you if you hold it within 6 blocks. If the parents' dyes can be mixed, the lamb gets the mix, so a blue sheep and a white one make a light blue lamb. Otherwise it randomly takes one parent's color. A lamb takes 20 minutes to grow, and each wheat you feed it removes 10% of the time left. Grazing also speeds it up.
It has two well known easter eggs. Name it jeb_ with a name tag and its wool cycles through every color, although shearing it gives whatever color it showed last. And the evoker, when it is not fighting, turns nearby blue sheep red while a "wololo" plays, a nod to Age of Empires.
