How to Breed Sheep in Minecraft

To breed a sheep you’ll need some wheat. Luckily, getting wheat can be fairly simple. All you’ll need to do is plant seeds; you’ll be able to get seeds by breaking grass. Once the seed is planted it’ll grow into wheat.

Once you have the wheat in your hand, feed it to the sheep. It’ll activate Love Mode and a baby sheep will spawn within seconds.
