Overview

Wool is a crafting material obtained from Sheep. It can be collected either by shearing Sheep or by killing them, making it a renewable early-game resource if a sheep farm is established.

Because it is a crafting material rather than a finished item, Wool is mainly useful as an ingredient for other recipes rather than as something kept for direct use. Its value comes from its steady availability once Sheep are found and managed, since both peaceful harvesting and combat drops can provide it.

  • Shearing Sheep yields Wool without killing the animal, allowing repeated collection from the same source.
  • Killing Sheep also drops Wool, which provides a faster but less sustainable way to gather it.
  • Since it comes from animals, Wool is tied to farming and exploration rather than mining or world generation.

In practice, players who want a reliable supply should keep Sheep alive and shear them whenever possible. This preserves the source while still providing material for crafting needs, while killing Sheep is a straightforward option when immediate Wool is more important than long-term production.
