Hay Bale block in Minecraft
A Hay Bale is nine wheat packed into a block, which also softens falls.
It is made with the Crafting Table from 9 × Wheat. It is mined with a hoe. It can be composted: each one has a 85% chance to add a layer to a Composter.
What it does
Nine Wheat make one and it turns back into nine. Landing on it reduces fall damage a lot. Horses, donkeys and llamas eat it to heal and grow, three bales make four straw beds, and it can be placed in any direction.
