Wheat Seeds

Seeds are an item used in farming.

Grass
Seeds can be obtained from breaking grass, which yields 0 to 2 seeds.

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 on grass blocks like at Minecraft Indev.

Crop


Seeds can be placed in farmland by right-clicking, where they will grow through eight stages. When left alone, seeds planted on farmland will grow to become wheat, which can be harvested by the player. 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 of growth 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 without wheat. The more developed crops are, the more seeds they are likely to drop.

Farmland may be trampled (reverted to a dirt block) if the player or any mob (passive or hostile) jumps on top of 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 enter "love mode." If a chicken in "love mode" finds another chicken in "love mode," the two chickens will "kiss" for a few seconds, then a smaller chicken will appear, which will earn you experience points. After the baby is spawned, it will follow the adult chickens until it too 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.
