Follow these steps to attract sheep in Minecraft.
Get Wheat
The first step to attracting sheep is getting their main food which is wheat. The easiest way to obtain it is by farming crops by planting seeds from grass on farmland which you create using a hoe. Make sure the field is close to water because it speeds up plant growth. Another good option is to use wheat found in villages or take it from village chests.
Find Sheep
The next step is to find sheep in the game world. Sheep spawn very often in biomes such as plains meadow and savanna so you should not have trouble finding them. The easiest way is to look for them in open areas where they are easy to spot from a distance. It is also worth looking for groups because they often spawn together which allows you to gather more of them for your farm more quickly.
Hold Wheat in Your Hand
To attract sheep you need to hold wheat in your hand. Simply select it in your hotbar and nearby sheep will start following you. This is a key step because without it they will not react to your presence. Once you are holding wheat move slowly so the sheep can keep up with you.
