So I have a question about the upcoming update, yet I didn’t want to start a new thread just for one question. So, I’m starting a new thread for many questions.
This thread is regarding new in-game content and the questions, answers, and discussions that come with new content.
Please only discuss new content, or the effect that new content may have on old content.
Hopefully this thread will clear up this forum section of one-question threads.My question:
Will passive mobs despawn, and will sheep regrow their wool?
Passive mobs won't despawn, but they still respawn to avoid animal extinction since we don't have breeding yet.
Sheep won't regrow wool until 1.1 udpate or something, but it's not this update. 4J said they are considering a mini-update after 1.8, but before 1.2. They may add breeding, enchanting, and/or the sheep regrowing wool.
Except, MG, I'm at least 70% certain that sheep regrow wool now. I know I have followed flocks and resheared them, the only way it could have happened if they don't regrow is that I got just outside the despawn range and then came back in. However, I know I was never more than 40 blocks from the flock at any given time.
Sweet. I’m gonna start making sheep minecart stations once the update hits. I’ll try to get at least two sheep of every color in their own color-coded stations, ready for breeding mass wool production once breeding and wool regrowth is added.

Eh. More sheep must’ve spawned in or near the flock, because I’m certain it isn’t an implemented feature currently.
Wait, sheep haven’t been regrowing wool, have they?
I don't know! I have my experiences, but I'm also very inclined to trust MG when he says that it was implemented later. I know the change log for beta lists an update where they implemented sheep regrowing wool after they eat grass.
Meh, we'll know in a couple of days - pen a sheep, shear it and then wait....

I've been near sheep that I sheared, and after at least 45 minutes, they were all still wool-less. They don't regrow their wool yet.
Don't you think the games tips would tell you sheep regrow wool? Like the tips for sheep or the tips for the shears?
Having disabled tips pretty much within a day of getting the game, I can honestly say I have no idea what the sheep game tips say :-)
Things just don't add up. When sheep regrow their wool, they eat grass. When they eat grass, they have an eating animation and it turns the grass block into a dirt block for a short time. They also eat grass randomly even when they have wool. I haven't seen either of these things.
Sheep eating grass....
Sheep eating animation...
From my experience, it's just new sheep spawning. I've had passive mobs spawn and despawn right in front of me before.
Funny respawning is likely the answer then. I know I've seen a skeleton spawn within one block of a lit torch, so I really don't have a problem accepting the passive spawns sometimes do weird things as well.....

P.S This thread will get locked because I made something like this and it got locked.
