History Of Wheat Seeds 04

:ear_of_rice: Hello my friends, my name is Jempics, and today we will be learning about wheat seeds! :ear_of_rice:

:ear_of_rice: How It Got Started :ear_of_rice:

Wheat seeds all started on May 21, 2009, when Notch, Minecraft’s original creator, becomes interested in adding farming features to his game.

On February 6, 2010, Notch adds seeds to Minecraft. They can be placed on tilled soil, or “farmland” as it was called then, and it would eventually grow into wheat. You can obtain seeds by using a hoe on a grass block.

In Minecraft 1.6, seeds slightly change. They are no longer obtained from grass blocks, but rather by breaking grass or tall-grass, or by harvesting fully grown wheat. Wheat farms can also be found in villages, now.

Today, wheat is a staple of Minecraft. It can be used for many cooking recipes such as bread or cake. Chickens will follow are player that is holding seeds, and they use seeds to breed. In the past, they used to be tamed with wheat itself.

Villagers can now harvest and plant their own wheat, although they aren’t very great farmers. Wheat crops will sometimes generate inside of Woodland Mansions. They can be used to tame parrots. Most recently, their name was changed from “Seeds” to “Wheat Seeds” to avoid confusion between them and Minecraft’s randomly generated worlds. If a player or animal stomps on the wheat seeds once they have been planted they have a chance of being destroyed. This is true even if the entity is using the potion effect “Slow-Falling.”

In the next Minecraft update, grown wheat will get a texture change. Putting the wheat, or the seeds, in a composter will make bonemeal.

That’s it! I hope this was helpful!

Edit: Thanks for the feature!
