What Do Sheep Eat in Minecraft?
Just like cows, sheep in Minecraft only eat wheat! Sheep also eat grass blocks to grow their wool again and turn it into dirt blocks.
Let’s see how to get wheat and find sheep in Minecraft!
#1 Obtain Wheat for Your Sheep
Besides farming wheat normally, there are several other ways to get wheat in Minecraft like getting wheat from foxes, crafting 9 wheat from a hay bale (which can be found mostly in the villages), and looting chests in most structures. Looting chest is a good option since you can get up to 21 wheat per chest spawn inside of the shipwreck.
It’s always recommended to farm for wheat because it’s much easier and you can obtain a large amount of wheat in a short amount of time. First, you will need to break grass and tallgrass to find some wheat seeds, then craft a hoe using 2 sticks and 2 materials of your choice.
Then, find a place near any water source block and use the hoe to turn the grass or dirt block into farmland. When the farmland is moisturized, you can plant the wheat seeds on it and wait for it to grow. Or using bone meal to accelerate the process.
When it turns yellow ripped, simply break the wheat crop to obtain 1 wheat. You can repeat and expand your farmland to get more wheat in one go.

Like cows, sheep can only spawn above grass blocks with a light level greater than 9. In Java Edition, sheep can spawn in literally any biomes, as long as the two conditions above are met. And in Bedrock Edition, sheep spawn in most biomes, except snowy plains, snowy taigas, ice spikes, and wooded badlands biome.
