Picking up wheat
I don't understand. When you pick up the wheat from the ground do you have to be holding somthing when you do? Milkman9 16:09, 28 August 2011 (CTD)
 * No, You can pick up wheat with anything. However it needs to be fully grown before it will drop a wheat item you can use. Alkheemist 23:13, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool thanks I just wasn't sure.=D Milkman9 21:33, 2 September 2011
 * Someone needs to update the page for 1.8. Food no longer heals hearts, it heals the hunger bar. 173.72.72.214 01:07, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That has been . Also, milkman9, remember to add posts by clicking the add topic above, so that you also get a title for the post.-- (T)  Numbermaniac  (C)  05:10, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

My hunger bar
IT's not decreasing! This happens after i did the infinite-wheat bug, so i posted it here. The difficulty is Easy, anybody knows why? Creeper IV ~ Not Lucas! 15:34, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Eggs
It looks like somebody replaced most of the wheat images with eggs.

Efficiency Comparison
The comparison chart seems to fail to take into account that it takes 2 wheat to breed a cow or chicken as you have to give 1 wheat to 2 separate mobs in order to get a new mob... unless I am missing something. So wouldn't you get 2 points on the hunger bar via cows per wheat rather than 4?
 * You're forgetting, that one cow gives you 1–3 pieces of meat. --mgr 16:09, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Efficiency can also be increased for cattle when using a Looting enchanted sword, but all in all it's a real crapshoot. 98.168.179.175 01:04, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Chicken + Cow breeding combination: Better efficiency
With the 1.4 update, chickens now need wheat seeds to breed. That means that you could possibly use the dropped seeds from a wheat farm for breeding chicken, and still use the "real" wheat for your cows. A full grown wheat plant drops an average of 1.5 seeds (I think so? average from 0-3, linear distribution), 2 seeds equal one cooked chicken (3 hunger points), so each wheat gives off 2.25 more hunger points, increasing the efficiency to 6.25. (Eggs not even included!) However I don´t really know how to compactly "explain" this (aka putting it in a nutshell) so that it can be mentioned in rhe wiki...Could somebody more experienced do this? --79.223.90.164 10:54, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Rate of Growth
Is the growth rate from planting to full grown wheat known? Presumably this is a semi-random range of time. Iconoplasty 04:47, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Ah.. I see this is actually mentioned on the farming page. Didn't realize the wheat details were spread across two different pages. Iconoplasty 04:51, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Efficiency comparison for crafting cake
With the 1.8 update, cake slices increased from 6 to 7. Therefore, the average hunger refilled per wheat used should be 14(7 slices)÷3(wheat used)=4.66( × $2 1⁄3$) and the average saturation refilled per wheat used should be 2.8(7 slices)÷3(wheat used)=0.93 saturation.

 * Anomie x, would you be able to comment? –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 04:09, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The match checks out, and it does seem that 1.7.10 only has 6 slices per cake (or more correctly, the seventh slice just disappears). Anomie x (talk) 11:58, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
