In Minecraft, wheat can be grown using wheat seeds that come from tall grass. Wheat can also be used to attract cows, goats, and Mooshrooms. Wheat can heal horses, tame horses, and speed up the growth of foals. To grow wheat, find an area that has a water source, plant wheat seeds, and then harvest ripe wheat.
Step
Step 1. Find an area of soil that is hydrated and has a water source
Hydrated soil has one or more blue blocks.
Step 2. Make sure you have a hoe
A hoe is used to prepare the soil. You can use Diamond, Gold, Stone, Wood or Iron hoe.
Make a hoe using 2 sticks and 2 materials, such as stones, planks of wood, diamonds, iron ingots, or gold ingots
Step 3. Select the hoe from the toolbar, then hover over the block next to the water block
The selected block will be highlighted.
Step 4. Use a hoe to plow the soil
By doing this, the area can be used to grow wheat. The commands for plowing the ground vary quite a bit on each console. After plowing, the land will turn brown.
- PC: Right click on the block
- PE: Touch blocks
- Xbox 360/Xbox One: Press the LT. button
- PS3/PS4: Press L2
Step 5. Make sure you have wheat germ
Wheat seeds should be planted on plowed land.
- Look for long, tall grass around your field. Tall grass can be crushed and collected to make wheat.
- Left-click on the tall grass, then walk past the spawn that appears. The grass will be destroyed and the wheat germ will be added to your gear list.
Step 6. Select the wheat seed from the toolbar, then plant it into the plowed field
The command to plant wheat seeds is similar to the command to plow the land (see step 4). After planting the seeds, the wheat will grow automatically. Wheat can be harvested after the plant grows up.
Step 7. Wait for the wheat to mature
The wheat crop will mature after a few minutes, hours, or days depending on your Minecraft progress. When you grow up, you can harvest wheat and transfer it to the equipment list. Alternatively, to speed up the growth of wheat, you can use bone meal. Bone meal is a fertilizer made from bones.
- Make sure you have bone meal. Bone flour can be made by placing one bone in the center of the crafting menu box.
- Select bone meal from the toolbar, then sprinkle it over the wheat crop. The command to use bone meal is similar to the command to plow the land (see step 4). When finished, the wheat crop will grow up and be ready to be harvested.
Step 8. Harvest wheat by crushing wheat crops
The commands for harvesting wheat vary quite a bit for each console. Once successfully harvested, the wheat will float above the ground.
- PC: Hover over wheat crop, press left click and hold.
- PE: Touch and hold the grain.
- Xbox 360/Xbox One: Hover over a wheat crop and press the RT button.
- PS3/PS4: Hover over a wheat crop and press the R2 key.
Step 9. Walk through the grain immediately
By doing this, the harvested wheat will be moved to your equipment list.
