Hay Bale

Hay bales are decorative, flammable blocks that can also be fed to horses.

Obtaining
Hay bales can be mined using any tool, or without a tool.

Food item
While not edible by players, hay bales can be a useful compact food supply for long periods away from other food sources.

Horses
Hay bales can also be fed to horses, donkeys, or mules to heal up to 10 hearts. They are an effective method to heal horses if the player wants to heal them in a short period of time. They also speed up the growth of foals by three real life minutes.

Falling
Falling onto a hay bale reduces the fall damage by 80%, meaning whatever falls on a hay bale only takes 20% of the normal fall damage.

An unarmored player with full health and no effects can fall as far as 100.27 blocks onto a hay bale, and still survive with health remaining.

Placement
Hay bales can be placed facing all directions, in the same way as wood and pillar quartz blocks are placed.
