Minecraft is full of surprises, and one delightful easter egg involves turning ordinary sheep into vibrant rainbow-hued companions. While rainbow sheep may not serve any practical purpose, they add a touch of whimsy to your world. This guide will walk you through the steps of creating your very own rainbow sheep in Minecraft.
Required Materials to Make Rainbow Sheep in Minecraft:
- One sheep of any kind.
- One name tag.
- An anvil.
Make Rainbow Sheep in Minecraft:
1. Acquiring a Name Tag:

- Fishing with an enchanted Luck of the Sea III rod is another way to obtain name tags.
2. Crafting an Anvil:
- Craft an anvil using three iron blocks and four iron ingots.
3. Naming the Name Tag:
- Place the anvil and open its UI.
- Use the leftmost slot for your name tag.
- Change the name to “jeb_” (case-sensitive, avoid capitalizing the “j”).
4. Naming the Sheep:

5. Transformation:
- The sheep’s wool will gradually shift colors, displaying a mesmerizing rainbow effect.
What Does a Rainbow Sheep Do in Minecraft?
Unfortunately, rainbow wool doesn’t exist in the game. The primary attraction is the visual delight of having a rainbow-colored sheep. Some additional points to note:
- No Special Effects: Beyond appearance, rainbow sheep do not offer any practical advantages.
- Wool Color: The wool you shear from the rainbow sheep will retain the color it had before being named “Jeb.”
- Breeding: If you breed two rainbow sheep, the newborn sheep’s color will be influenced by the base colors of its parents. You can change the newborn’s color with dye or name it “Jeb_” to maintain the rainbow effect.
- Dyeing the Sheep: You can still dye the rainbow sheep with any color, and it will drop the dyed wool when sheared.
