Wheat Crops
minecraft:wheatWheat Crops are the fully-grown form of farmland wheat, passing through eight growth stages before they can be harvested for Wheat and Wheat Seeds. They require farmland and nearby light to progress.
Uses
- Bread — Three Wheat craft one loaf of Bread, a cheap and reliable food source.
- Hay Bale — Nine Wheat craft a Hay Bale, used as a compact storage block, fall-damage cushion, or horse feed.
- Animal Breeding — Wheat breeds and grows up cows, sheep, goats, and mooshrooms, and can be traded to farmer villagers for emeralds.
Found In
- Farmland (any biome) — Planted from Wheat Seeds on tilled, hydrated farmland and grown under adequate light.
- Village farms — Villages commonly generate with wheat farms already planted and tended by farmer villagers.

FAQ
What does a fully grown Wheat Crop drop?
One Wheat item plus 1-4 Wheat Seeds (averaging about 2.6 seeds); breaking it before it matures drops only a single seed.
Does Fortune affect Wheat drops?
It only increases the seed count, not the guaranteed single Wheat item.
What tool should I use to harvest Wheat?
Any tool works and breaks it instantly; a hoe is not needed to harvest, only to till the farmland underneath.
What is Wheat used for besides bread?
Crafting Hay Bales, breeding several farm animals, and trading with farmer villagers for emeralds.
