Set up your farm on dirt blocks that have grass on top of them. This will allow the sheep to eat grass and regrow wool. Whether you’ve just started playing Minecraft or you’ve already beat the game, this automatic wool farm is a great addition to any Minecraft world.

You can check your position by digging straight up to see if you’re in the glass container. Since you’re under the grass dirt block, you should be three blocks below the surface.

Place a dirt block next to the container so you and the sheep can jump up onto the top of the farm. Use wheat or a lead to get the sheep to follow you. Jump up to the top of the farm to lead the sheep into the glass container. The sheep will fall in as they walk toward you.
1 Gate 7 or more Fences (7 is the minimum for having 1 internal space for a sheep) 1 Shears 1 Wheat OR 1 Lead Additional Wheat (optional, for breeding sheep) Additional Leads (optional, if you want to lead multiple sheep to your farm)
You might want to place the farm close to your base for quick access. Check that the fence is completely closed off so none of your sheep escape! Read more about how to start a farm for any animal in Minecraft.
Sheep spawn on grass blocks at light level 9 or higher. Sheep can appear in the Snowy Taiga biome even though the grass is covered by snow. Sheep can show up in village shepherd and butcher houses. They may also be in village animal pens. Sheep will randomly make a bleating sound. Go toward the bleating to find the sheep.
You can also use the lead method in the next step as an alternative to using wheat.
Leads can only stretch up to 10 blocks before breaking. If the lead breaks, pick it up and reattach it to the sheep. Multiple sheep can be attached to you by leads, but you’ll need one lead per sheep.
Once they’re in, you can detach the lead from the sheep by clicking the use button again while holding the lead.
The sheep will regrow its wool if it has grass available to eat.
Have at least two sheep on your farm. Click the use button on two or more sheep while holding wheat to make them enter “love mode. ” Sheep in love mode will approach other sheep in love mode. After meeting for a couple seconds, the two sheep will produce one baby sheep.
