Hay Bale

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

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 real life 3 minutes. However, the speedup is inefficient, being less than the nine minutes you would get for the nine wheat the bale is composed of.

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

 * Hay bales are the first craftable blocks that can be used to feed an actual mob.
 * A screenshot of hay blocks was first found in the files of the Mojam game Nuke the Dinosaurs.
 * Hay Bales appear green on Maps, despite being yellow.
