Killed Sheep Don't Drop Wool

by Cam3

Killed Sheep Don't Drop Wool changes sheep so that a sheep killed by a player yields no wool, while sheared sheep still drop their fleece.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.2 – 1.21.11

What it does

Sheep that are killed without being sheared produce no wool, which makes the early game slightly harder, since a player has to find and shear sheep, and shears require iron. The change removes a reason to kill sheep for their wool, while sheared sheep continue to drop wool as usual. Flame and Fire Aspect enchantments still set mobs alight as expected.

The mod runs on the server, and a player who joins without it still gets the altered sheep behavior. Files cover game versions 1.21.2 – 1.21.11 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a Data pack version for servers. Snapshot builds are published. The mod is open source under the MIT License and was first released on 2026-10-04. Only the server must run it, and a client that lacks it still joins without trouble.

Key features

  1. Wool from shearing only

    Killed sheep do not drop wool, and sheared sheep drop a single wool at most, so shearing stays the only source.

  2. Data pack option

    A data pack is available for servers that cannot add a mod, with the same change to sheep drops.

  3. Vanilla enchantments kept

    Flame and Fire Aspect enchantments keep working on sheep, so combat is not otherwise altered.

What the author says

Sheep no longer shed their wool when they die, only when they are sheared. This is to make the early game slightly more difficult, now you cannot get quickly a bed, you need to find one or get iron to make a shear. It's also to give less incentive to the players to kill sheeps, as they are innocent creatures that do…
