Wheat is an item obtained by farming or found in dungeon chests. 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 drops 0 to 3 seeds that can be replanted. This makes farming an easy, reliable source of food. The player should keep in mind that jumping on wheat will trample it, causing it to drop before being fully grown. As mobs may also cause this, it is advised to fence off the area as a precaution. Wheat may be used to breed Cows, Pigs, Sheep and Mooshrooms via first herding two of them together and then right clicking them with the wheat to begin "Love Mode." Wheat may be planted in The Nether, but it will grow at a slow pace since water can not be placed to hydrate the Farmland.

Efficiency comparison
Wheat is used to make several different types of food, but the benefit you get from each unit of Wheat varies widely depending on what you use it for. This chart compares the number of hunger points you can expect to regain for each unit of Wheat you use, depending on how you use it.
| Method | Average hunger points refilled per wheat used | Additional notes |
|---|---|---|
| Breeding Cows or Mooshrooms | 4.00 | Also get one leather for every two wheat used |
| Crafting Cookies | 4.00 | Requires cocoa beans |
| Crafting Cake | 2.00 | Requires eggs, milk, and sugar |
| Crafting Bread | 0.83 |
Based on these statistics, the most effective use of Wheat is to breed cows. They give the greatest return in terms of refilling your hunger meter, and also give you Leather, which you need to make Books, and therefore Bookshelves, so it helps you make better enchanted items.

Notes
- Crops can be harvested quickly and easily from large farms in a very short period of time either by redirecting water over the crops, using redstone lights to light the room and then turning them off, or by using pistons. Immature crops always drop one seed, but fully grown one can drop up to 3 seeds. It have about 90% chance of dropping at least one seed, and 15% chance of dropping three seeds.
- Wheat doesn't appear in the statistics page.
- Dungeon chests can contain wheat in stacks of 1-4.
- Wheat can be used to make animals follow you by holding it in your hand. The animals need to be looking directly at you to start, and afterward, if you get too far ahead of them or switch items, they will lose interest.
- Bone meal can be used to immediately mature the wheat to its last stage of growth.
Trivia
- Using Wheat to breed animals and eating their drops restores your hunger meter more than making the same amount of wheat into Bread and eating it.
- Holding wheat in your hand causes animals (cows, sheep and mooshrooms) that are close by follow you, until you stop holding the wheat.
