Hay Bale

Hay bales are decorative, flammable blocks that can also be fed to foals.

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 foals to heal up to 10 hearts – a very effective food for a horse. They also speed up the growth of foals by three real life minutes. Fully grown horses, donkeys or mules will not eat hay bales.

Falling
Falling onto a hay bale reduces the fall damage by 80%, meaning whatever falls on a hay bale only takes 20% of the normal fall damage.

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

Trivia

 * Hay bales burn in the world for just as long as the coal blocks do.
 * Hay bales are the first craftable blocks that can be used to feed an actual mob.
 * Hay Bales appear green on maps, despite being yellow.
