What Is Wheat and What Does It Do in Minecraft

Wheat is a multipurpose tool in Minecraft. It can be obtained early on and used to breed Cows, Goats, Sheep, and Mooshrooms. You can also heal horses for one heart using Wheat and two hearts when used to heal Llamas. It's extremely helpful, and players should always have some stored away.

How to Grow Wheat

Growing Wheat doesn't take all that long. You'll need to find a patch of grass wheat. To find them, all you have to do is walk around for a little, and you're bound to find one.

Once you do break it, Wheat Seeds should drop.

Now that you have the seed use a hoe on any grass block touching the water and plant the seed.

After it is planted, wait for it to grow fully, or use some bone meal to speed up the process. And once it's fully grown, you can harvest it, and you'll have Wheat.

Wheat can be found in several different areas in-game. Below you'll find a chart on where you can find Wheat, where it's located, how many you'll find, and the chances of you finding it on Bedrock and Java.
