Docm demonstrates a recent discovery by Redditor WolfieMario, who uncovered this hilarious gem when naming sheep: if you name a sheep "jeb_"...well, see for yourself!
I'm so scared.... Any day... Just any day... They're gonna add something... And it's not gonna be plugin API...
Cuz that's all I'm waiting for, nothing else. I love minecraft, I love the muliplayer community. They had everything figured out in Beta!
But any day now... we're gonna log in.. All the servers are gonna be outdated.
And then we'll go open steam or LoL.
Hmm, I tried this by naming a sheep "Jeb_" but it didn't do anything but stay white. Does it have to be done with a lower-case 'j'? Also, I tried it in a vanilla survival world that was originally created with 1.7.2 with a sheep originally bred in 1.7.2, would that make a difference? Any ideas what I did wrong?
Edit to add: I finally found another nametag (I don't cheat in survival :-) and named it "jeb_" with a lowercase 'j' and got a rainbow sheep. So, anyone trying this, make sure you use the lower case 'j'.
WOW makes you wonder what other hidden Easter eggs are hidden in minecraft that jeb put in... also no-one discovered this untill now, my guess is that it was around since 1.6! good work mojang!
Easter eggs aren't usually designed to be useful, so there is no point in asking what the use of it is. It was probably something that one of the programmers randomly decided to do, just for the hell of it. God knows, the amount of programming they did in the update must have been boring as hell. They needed something just to laugh about, most likely, and rainbow sheep did the trick. I wonder if the programmer in question was inspired by the Twilight Forest...
Amusing none the less, but I see little point other then amusement of storing a bunch of sheep under a glass floor and naming them all jeb_ .
It was mentioned in the video that it would drop white wool
Time to flood the entire world with RAINBOW SHEEP!
