Farmer villagers may throw bread at players under the Hero of the Village effect.‌[Java Edition only]

Usage[]

Food[]

Bread can be eaten with the use control while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating bread restores 5 (🍗🍗🍗) hunger and 6.0 hunger saturation.

Breeding[]

Villagers can pick up bread items to become willing, allowing them to breed. Villagers require 3 bread to become willing.

Composting[]

Placing bread into a composter has an 85% chance of raising the compost level by 1. It is more efficient to compost wheat than bread made from wheat.
