Wheat

Wheat is an item obtained through farming, added to Indev on the 6th of February, 2010. Seeds for growing wheat can be obtained by breaking tall grass or from inside a dungeon's chests. Wheat can be crafted into bread, cake (when combined with sugar, eggs, and milk), or cookies (when combined with cocoa beans).

Harvesting wheat generates 0 to 3 seeds that can be replanted to produce more crops. This makes farming a reliable source of food (versus tracking down pigs or cows for their pork (although grilled pork and steak heals for, respectively, as opposed to for bread)).

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 die and revert back to being plain dirt(unless you sneak by holding shift).

Bugs

 * In the Beta 1.9 Pre-release 2, wheat can sometimes be used an infinite number of times when breeding animals. You can then repeatedly split that wheat in your inventory infinitely.
 * In the Beta 1.9 Pre-release 2, wheat is "used" when left-clicking tall grass. This breaks the grass and destroys your wheat.
