Steel Sheep

A mod that adds sheep that have steel wool.

These sheep can only be sheared if the player is standing very close to them, but the wool of these sheep is quite pokey,
acting almost like cactus if the player stands too close, also if you shear one sheep it takes twice, or three times the durability of the shears.  The sheep will freak out, and start ramming you - trying to kill you, so will any other steel sheep in the vicinity

Once you have some steel wool, you can then craft it into steel wool armor, but this is just as uncomfortable as hugging one of the sheep, So the player takes a bit of damage every time they move, At least it has Thorns I.

If you want to avoid all the pokiness, what you have to do is to jump into some lava for a couple seconds to "melt" the fibers of wool.*

*Making this a no-so-convenient way of creating chain armor.
