Wheat

Wheat is an item obtained by farming or found in dungeon chests. Wheat was added to Indev on the 6th of February, 2010. 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.

Harvesting wheat generates 0 to 3 seeds that can be replanted to produce more crops. This makes farming an easy, reliable source of food.

It helps to fence off areas where ground has been tilled or where a user is trying to grow wheat. If either a user or mob walks over the block of growing wheat it will often die and revert back to being plain dirt, unless the player sneaks by holding shift.

Wheat is also used in breeding both to herd animals, and in actual breeding.

Wheat can be planted in the Nether, but will grow at a slow pace, since water cannot be placed to hydrate the soil.
