Is this some kind of miracle? Or some new feature? Either way, it's awesome.

Easiest way to catch them is to use lead then put into a fence.

I have a conclusion! Simply, magic.

I have an easy way to fake pink sheep: just dye them

You my friend, are a smart cookie.

Amazing!!! I've never seen anything like that before! I wish I was that lucky.

That's not a miracle at all, I found at least 7-8 in my survival world, and my brother found 4-5.

Search brought me here; I had the same question.

I've just run into three pink sheep within eyesight of each other (plains biome, for those who are interested). I remember hearing that they spawned naturally in the Xbox version of MC, but I don't believe that was the case for PC players prior to 1.7.X. The wiki gives them a spawn rate of 0.164%, which is why I was curious what the community had to say about it.

I don't understand the importance of pink wool.

It's not the wool, it's the sheep. There is only a .5% chance of having one spawn so it's kind of rare.

judging by the flowers in the background i am going to say you dyed them.

Yeah, no. I've definitely encountered this myself, as I'm sure other folks have since the release of 1.7.X.

I too have encountered pink sheep....

I haven't, trust me.

I heard that when one pink sheep spawns,it spawns with a herd.So nothing strange there i guess.

Actually, it's 0.164%.

Hm... Since when? I'm not doubting you I'm just curious.

I've only ever found a wild pink sheep once. Then my friend came and dyed all the other sheep in the area pink, so I never found it again.
