Sheep are eating grass when the gamerule mobGriefing is set to false

confirmed

In my eyes not a bug:
By setting mobgriefing to false the removal or destruction of blocks by Endermen, Creeper, Ghasts and Withers is prvented.

Sheeps eat grass which will regrow on the dirt block.

Generally I would agree that it's not an issue. But there are some cases where sheep eating grass may be annoying:

• if you are doing creative/building work instead of survival and you have some garden or something where dirt blocks would look ugly.

• if you are playing with limited ressources/area (like a skyblock map) and grass becomes rare easily and you don't want sheep to destroy the rest of it

• if you have so many sheep that they eat the grass faster than it regrows

Jonathan, I see your points, but this is still not a bug.

Actually, as I thought about it again, turning mob griefing off should prevent all mobs from changing the world/blocks at all. As far as I see, sheep are the only mobs who currently can damage the world with mod griefing off. So I think this is a valid bug.

Obviously there are way more important bugs out there so I don't mind if this stays closed for now.

I tested this, and I'm pretty sure it has been fixed in 1.8.2 pre-1.

(Misread your last comment as

prevents zombies picking up items has been fixed in 1.8.2 pre-1.

)

This was actually fixed in 1.7.2, not 1.8.2-pre1.

I meant that I tested it in 1.8.2 pre-1, and it was not happening. At some point before 1.8.2 pre-1, it had been fixed.

This is still a problem!

I tested it in singleplayer 1.14.3 with mobGriefing = false

The sheeps eat the grass and the grass dont dissapear.

With this bug it is possible to create op wool-farms when the gamerule is set to false!
