Wheat Seeds item in Minecraft

Present since 1.12.2 or earlier Stack size: 64 In 3 tutorials ↓

Wheat Seeds drop from grass and from harvested wheat, and grow into Wheat. Seeds are planted on Farmland to start a crop.

It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It can be composted: each one has a 30% chance to add a layer to a Composter.

What it does

Till dirt or grass with a hoe, keep water within four blocks, and plant the seed; crops need light to grow and grow faster with Bone Meal and neighboring crops in rows. Chickens, parrots and other birds eat seeds, which is how you breed or tame them.

Most seeds can also be composted. Two of them, the torchflower seeds and the pitcher pod, come only from what a Sniffer digs up.

How to craft
