Wheat

Wheat is an item obtained by farming or found in dungeon chests. Seeds for growing wheat are obtained by breaking tall grass. Wheat can be crafted into bread, and is a necessary ingredient for cake and cookies.

When fully grown, wheat crops will drop 1 Wheat as well as 0-3 seeds. This makes farming an easy, reliable source of food. The player should keep in mind that jumping on wheat will trample it, causing it to drop before being fully grown. As mobs may also cause this, it is advised to fence off the area as a precaution. Wheat may be used to breed cows, sheep and Mooshrooms via first herding two of them together and then right clicking them with the wheat to begin "Love Mode." Wheat may be planted in The Nether, but it will grow at a slow pace since water can not be placed to hydrate the farmland.

Trivia

 * Crops can be harvested quickly and easily from large farms in a very short period of time either by redirecting water over the crops, using redstone lights to light the room and then turning them off, or by using pistons. Immature crops always drop one seed, but fully grown one can drop up to 3 seeds. It has about a 90% chance of dropping at least one seed, and 15% chance of dropping three seeds.
 * Wheat doesn't appear in the statistics page.
 * Dungeon chests can contain wheat in stacks of 1-4.
 * 2-3 Bone meal can be used to mature a newly planted wheat seed.
 * As of 1.5, wheat's growth is no longer considered a block update, ruling out the possibility of automatic wheat farms utilizing BUD switches.
 * In a Snow/Taiga Biomes, if you put torches around a wheat farm, the water won't freeze as easily.
 * Using Wheat to breed animals and eating their drops restores your hunger meter more than making the same amount of wheat into Bread and eating it.
 * Holding wheat in your hand causes animals (cows, sheep and mooshrooms) that are close by to follow you, until you stop holding the wheat.
