Why Mojang changed sheep spawning locations and added new sheep colors

In Minecraft, sheep already had variants based on different colors. Nevertheless, Mojang cleverly divided their spawning locations according to their color. The developer also added new colors like blue, red, orange, and light blue based on the cold and warm biomes.

This spawning change will now work perfectly with other farm animal variants that will arrive in the upcoming Minecraft game drop.
