FAQ
What tool should I use on a Hay Bale?
A hoe breaks it fastest, though any tool or bare hands work since no tool is strictly required.
Can a Hay Bale be turned back into wheat?
Yes. Crafting a hay bale yields 9 wheat, reversing the original recipe.
Does a Hay Bale stop all fall damage?
No. It reduces fall damage to 20% of normal, not to zero, though this still allows surviving falls of 100+ blocks with full health.
Is Hay Bale flammable?
Yes. It catches fire easily from nearby flames like other plant-based blocks.
