Firstly, let’s gather some wool from your sheep. Then, follow these steps:
1. Diagonally place two Iron Ingots on the crafting table to make Shears.
2. Search for some sheep. They can be found in most biomes, especially open areas with sparse trees.
3. It’s time for sheep shearing. Interact with your sheep by the following methods to shear them and collect 3 pieces of Wool:
- PC/Mac: Right-click
- PlayStation: L2
- Xbox: LT
- Switch: ZL
- Pocket Edition: Tap and hold
