Wool blocks shown in all 16 colors.
Wool is a block harvested from sheep that can be dyed in any of the 16 different colors. Wool blocks are weak, flammable, and offer little resistance against explosions. Wool is harvested by pressing right bumper on a sheep with shears which gives 1-3 wool or killing it gives 0-1 wool. It can also be crafted from 4 strings. White, light gray, gray, black, brown, and pink wool can be found naturally by harvesting it from the respective sheep.
