Wheat Seeds

Seeds are an item used in farming.

Grass
Seeds can be obtained from breaking grass, which yields 0 to 1 seed.

Farming
Harvesting fully-grown wheat yields from 0 to 3 seeds per tile harvested (about 1.5 seeds/tile harvested on average).

Pocket Edition
Seeds can be obtained by using a hoe to hoe grass blocks.

As a crop


Seeds can be placed in farmland by right-clicking, where they will grow through eight stages. When left alone, wheat seeds planted in farmland will grow to become wheat which can be harvested. Planted seeds need at least light level 9 in the block above them to grow, or must be exposed to the sky.

Crops will grow faster if the farmland they are planted in is hydrated. Bone Meal can also be used to increase the speed by causing the seeds to randomly increase their stage by 1 to 7.

Breaking the final stage produces 0 to 3 seeds and 1 wheat. If they are harvested early, they will drop seeds but no wheat. The more developed the crops are, the more seeds they are likely to drop.

Farmland may be trampled (revert to a dirt block) if the player or any mob jumps onto it. If trampled, the crops have the same drop rates they would normally have.

Breeding
Seeds are used to breed chickens. When two chickens are each fed seeds they will enter "love mode". If a chicken in love mode finds another chicken in love mode, the two chickens will "kiss" for about two and a half seconds, then a smaller chicken will appear. After the baby is spawned, it will follow the adult until it is in its adult form, unless you hit the baby.

Trivia

 * Despite the introduction of other types of seed, wheat seeds are still only called "Seeds" in the game.
 * A quick way to gather wheat seeds is to pour a bucket of water in flat areas of grass.
 * Another quick way to get wheat seeds is by placing bone meal on grass, this will give you long grass, which can be broken; this will also give you flowers.
 * Trampling over wheat while riding a horse will not revert tilled land into dirt.
