Bread item in Minecraft

Present since 1.0 or earlier Stack size: 64

Bread is the first real food most players make: three Wheat in a row give a loaf that fills a good part of your hunger bar. It is easy to grow and stacks to 64.

It is made with the Crafting Table from 3 × Wheat. It can be composted: each one has a 85% chance to add a layer to a Composter.

What it does

One Bread restores 5 hunger points and gives solid saturation, enough to keep you going for a while. It is not as filling as cooked meat, but it needs no furnace.

Villagers like it too: Farmers pick up bread and wheat and share food with other villagers, and well-fed villagers are ready to breed. You also find Bread in village chests.

It can go in a Composter, where it has a good chance to add a layer.
