Description

Light Gray Wool comes from shearing a light gray sheep, which yields 1-3 wool per cut and lets the sheep regrow its fleece by eating grass blocks or grass, making light gray a fully renewable color. Dyeing any wool color with Light Gray Dye also produces Light Gray Wool, using the same base recipe that turns 4 string into White Wool on a 2x2 crafting grid. Light gray sheep can spawn in any biome alongside white, black, and brown sheep. Ten Light Gray Wool blocks generate under the door and on the floor of one small house in snowy tundra villages. Woodland mansions also include light gray among the undyed wool colors placed inside their structures.

Light Gray Wool stacks to 64, but only with other wool of the same color, and burns quickly next to fire or lava. Placed between a sculk sensor and a vibration source, Light Gray Wool keeps the sensor from detecting footsteps, item drops, or block breaking on the far side, and blocks note block sound from reaching allays. In Java Edition, Light Gray Wool smelts in a furnace for 0.5 items of fuel. Shepherd villagers both buy and sell Light Gray Wool during trades. Builders favor Light Gray Wool for cool-toned interiors and snowy-biome structures that need a softer alternative to plain white or gray blocks.
