About White Wool

White Wool is the natural undyed form of wool, and it is one of Minecraft's staple building and crafting materials. It gives builds a soft, pale texture and can be dyed into any other wool colour.

Key facts:

  • Flammable, so keep it away from lava and fire.
  • Breaks quickly with shears.
  • Used to craft beds, carpets, banners, and paintings.

White wool placed under a note block produces a guitar sound, which some players use for simple music.

How to get White Wool

The main way to get White Wool is from sheep. Shearing an adult sheep gives one to three wool, while killing a sheep drops one. Sheared sheep regrow their wool after eating grass, so a small flock can supply you over time. You can also craft it from four pieces of string in a two by two pattern. Village shepherd houses sometimes contain white wool in chests, useful before you have shears.
