Minecraft Player Designs Sheep Variants

Summary

Minecraft player designs new sheep variants - cold sheep, warm sheep, and temperate sheep.
Community embraces idea of new sheep variants, with favorite being the cold one.
Despite potential for new mob variants, no official word from Mojang on introduction of new sheep types.

A Minecraft player has designed new variants for the sheep and shared their idea online. Minecraft is a game that receives periodic updates to keep the community experience engaging. Recently, the devs have been focusing on a specific aspect of the gameplay, and these changes are getting players talking.

Minecraft released the Armored Paws update in April last year, finally introducing new wolf variants. It is now possible to find eight different types of wolf in addition to the one already known to players, with the appearance of each wolf varying according to the biome. This year, Minecraft surprised one more time by releasing a new snapshot with two new chicken variants, which, like the wolves, spawn in specific biomes. Inspired by these updates, a community member decided to give their spin to another existing mob, and the result is impressive.

Redditor Key-Orchid8993 made two variants for the Minecraft sheep. One is named "cold sheep" and is characterized by having a thicker layer of wool that covers its eyes. The second is called "warm sheep," and the most striking aspect of its appearance is the pair of round horns, and shorter wool around the legs and on the forehead. The third variant is the sheep that already exists in Minecraft, which they have renamed as "temperate." In the following images, they show what these mobs would look like with their wool sheared, and with pink wool.

Minecraft Player Creates Sheep Variants and the Community Loves the Idea

Although they didn't explain the choice of names for the different sheep, the OP followed the same logic as Mojang's updates. The cold sheep would spawn in chillier biomes, while the warm sheep would spawn in sandy biomes. The comments section loved the idea of Minecraft having new sheep, with players citing the cold one as their favorite. One of the comments even suggested the addition of special characteristics for these mobs, with the cold sheep giving more wool when sheared, and the warm one giving more meat. Other players approved the idea, with one saying that this change, added to the new sheep variants, could encourage more exploration of the Minecraft world.

While there is a lot of potential for unexplored Minecraft mob variants, there is no official word from Mojang about the introduction of new types of sheep. Despite this, the mob has recently received a change, and sheep have now been organized into biomes according to color. As a result, players will find brown sheep in sandy biomes, black sheep in chilly biomes, and white sheep in green biomes.
