Where Can Yellow Wool Be Found?

Yellow Wool does not naturally generate in the game world and must be obtained by players through crafting or shearing yellow sheep. Yellow sheep can be rarely found in grassy biomes or can be manually created by dyeing white sheep with yellow dye. Yellow dye is crafted from dandelions or sunflowers, both of which can be found in abundance in plains and sunflower plains biomes. Once obtained, yellow dye can be applied directly to sheep to produce a renewable source of Yellow Wool or used to dye white wool in a crafting table.

Yellow Wool pairs well with other warm-toned blocks such as terracotta and oak wood, allowing for eye-catching and cozy designs. Additionally, it can be crafted into carpets, beds, and banners, offering further customization options for interior decoration.
