How To Make A Minecraft Wool Farm 2024 Guide

Materials Needed to Make a Minecraft Wool Farm

Every Minecraft dye color will have its own module in our wool farm, but you can also make a farm for all colors. We have included a list of materials required for both here: The wool farm in Minecraft is pretty straightforward to construct. Although a bit expensive, we recommend you first build an iron farm in Minecraft and then you can focus on this farm. The wool farm uses the sheep-eating grass mechanic. Every time a sheep does so, it will regrow its wool if it was sheared.
The change of block state of that grass block can be detected with an observer and a dispenser will then shear the sheep. It’s the Hopper Minecart below that will collect the sheared wool, and you get infinite wool without much work. You do need to keep the dispensers filled with shears at all times, though, to keep the farm running.

Note: This will activate the piston and push the grass block into the minecart. If you chose this route, you will need to remove the rail minecart is sat on before pushing the grass (dirt) block. The farm will function either way, but it’s more compact like this.
