Wool in Minecraft

Most of the colors of wool blocks are naturally generated in a lot of naturally generated structures. Players can find wool in villages, pillager outposts, ancient cities, and woodland mansions. It can be picked up by using any tool but shears are the quickest.

Players can trade with apprentice-level shepherd villagers as they have a 50% chance of selling wool blocks. Another way to get wool is by either killing or harvesting it from sheep. Sheep usually drop a wool block upon death but shears will ensure that the sheep lives and you get wool.

Wool comes in a total of 16 different color variants as white wool can be colored by using any dye on it. Wool is an important resource as it is required to craft items such as beds, banners, carpets, and paintings. When placed under a note block a guitar sound is produced. It can also be used as fuel for furnaces but it is very inefficient as it only smelts 0.5 items per block.
