Minecraft – Why did the sheep spawn pink

minecraft-java-edition

While I was building a barn for sheep, I spawned a lot — and I mean a lot — of sheep. Then I noticed something funny: I spawned a pink sheep. I didn't have any dye in my inventory. How on earth did this happen? Could someone please explain?

Best Answer

Pink sheep can spawn naturally without dye, very rarely:

Pink sheep have a 0.164% of naturally spawning

Sheep can spawn naturally in white, black, grey, light grey, brown and pink with the following chances of spawning:

  • White - 81.836%
  • Black - 5%
  • Grey - 5%
  • Light Grey - 5%
  • Brown - 3%
  • Pink - 0.164%

Sheep will never naturally spawn in any other colour than listed above.
