Where Can Lime Wool Be Found?

Lime Wool does not generate naturally in the world and must be obtained by players through crafting or shearing lime-dyed sheep. Lime sheep can be manually created by dyeing white sheep with lime dye. Lime dye is crafted by combining white dye with green dye, which is obtained by smelting cactus in a furnace. Sea pickles found in warm ocean biomes can also be smelted to produce lime dye. Once acquired, lime dye can be applied directly to sheep for a renewable source of Lime Wool or used to dye white wool in a crafting table. More details about wool collection and dyeing processes can be found in the Wool article.

Its vibrant lime-green tone pairs well with contrasting blocks such as quartz, blackstone, and dark oak wood, creating bold and modern designs. Lime Wool can also be crafted into carpets, beds, and banners, providing additional decorative options for interiors and large-scale projects.
