This article is about the food item. For the planted seed and the wheat crop, see seeds.

Wheat is an item primarily obtained by farming.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Wheat can be found in 35.3% of dungeon chests and 35.3% of woodland mansion chests in stacks of 1–4, in 57.9% of igloo chests in stacks of 2–3, and in 93.7% of village two-room house chests in stacks of 8–12.

Farming

Main article: Tutorials/Crop farming

When a fully grown wheat crop is harvested, it will drop 1 wheat and 0 to 3 seeds. The wheat crop has a total of eight stages from the time it is planted until it can be harvested. If the crop is harvested before it is fully grown, it will only drop seed(s).

Usage

Food

Holding wheat in your hand causes cows, sheep, and mooshrooms that are close by to follow you, until you stop holding the wheat or create too large a distance between them, thus leading them to lose interest.

Wheat may be used to breed cows, sheep, and mooshrooms by first herding two of them together and then using the wheat on them to begin "Love Mode."

Wheat can heal a horse 1 () health or lower its temper by 3% when attempting to tame it. It can also decrease the time it takes for a foal to grow by 20 seconds.

Note: the narrator demonstrates at 0:56 that walking over wheat can destroy the crop and un-till the land. This is outdated: since version 1.1, wheat can only be destroyed by a player or mob jumping on it or falling on it.
