White wool recipe is broken

As we all know, in order to make white wool, you need to dye wool with bone meal. The problem in the current iteration of the game is that the only wool it will accept in this recipe is white wool, which is already white. Hence, as it currently stands,
the crafting of white wool is pretty pointless. You can't turn colored wool blocks into white wool. If you want white wool and you don't have a white sheep, you have to find a newly spawned white sheep or you have to dye the sheep white. You can't dye sheared
wool white.

Can't dye any wool white, either. It all requires white wool in the first place.

 

Snow Blocks Are A Great Substitute For White Wool

While sheep are not too hard to find in this version of the game, it is not always easy to quickly obtain multiple 64-count stacks of white wool when you need it. If you are intending to construct something with white wool (as opposed to dyed wool), you
should consider using snow blocks instead. Four snowballs can be crafted into one block of snow on the first blade of the crafting menu. If you are standing in a snow biome, snow is all around you. With a shovel, you can obtain over 100 snowballs in the
course of just a few minutes if you are quick about it (it is the fastest collectible resource in the game). As such, obtaining resources for 100-200 snow blocks (made from 400-800 snow balls) is exponentially quicker than it would take you to get 100-200
blocks of white wool. And snow blocks are a great resource! From a distance, they are completely indistinguishable from white wool and, when you are close up, the texture is actually pretty cool (I prefer it to the white wool texture). Unlike snowballs,
blocks of snow do not melt, so there is no danger there. And unlike wool, blocks of snow do not catch fire! Of course, if you are looking for dyed wool, blocks of snow won't help you. Snow cannot be dyed (you can't even make snow yellow through natural
processes). But if you envision using white wool in your constructions, give some consideration to snow blocks. In most circumstances, it's a better choice, and it certainly is easier to obtain if you have a snow biome nearby.
