Where Can Brown Wool Be Found?

Brown Wool does not generate naturally in the world and must be obtained by players through crafting or shearing brown sheep. Brown sheep are one of the rarer sheep variants that can spawn in grassy biomes and provide Brown Wool when sheared. Players can also obtain Brown Wool by dyeing white wool with brown dye, which is primarily obtained from cocoa beans found in jungle biomes. Applying brown dye directly to white sheep allows for a renewable source of Brown Wool through repeated shearing. More details on wool collection and dyeing techniques can be found in the Wool article.
