Wheat is the harvest of the wheat crop, grown from Wheat Seeds on farmland. You cannot eat it raw, but it bakes into bread, cake and cookies, and it is the food that makes cows, sheep and goats breed.
It is made with the Crafting Table from Hay Bale. It can be composted: each one has a 65% chance to add a layer to a Composter.
What it does
Only a fully grown crop, golden and tall, gives wheat: one sheaf plus a few seeds to plant again. Breaking it earlier only returns the seed. Bonemeal speeds it up, and villagers with the farmer job harvest and replant fields on their own.
Three wheat in a row make a loaf of Bread, the first reliable food of many games. A Cake needs three wheat with milk, sugar and an egg, and two wheat around cocoa beans give eight Cookies. Nine wheat pack into a Hay Bale, which also softens falls, and mixed with mud it makes Packed Mud.
Holding wheat makes Cows, mooshrooms, Sheep and goats follow you, and feeding two of them makes them breed. It also feeds horses and llamas. A novice Farmer buys wheat for emeralds.
