How To Get Wheat In Minecraft

1. Find Or Place Down Water

First we need to find a small body of water or create our own. In our example, we simply dug a hole 5 blocks long and filled it with water.

2. Use Your Hoe

Next, pick a hoe on your Hotbar and prepare the soil around the water. You can hoe with the following controls on your game controller:

• Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition – Right click on the block.
• Pocket Edition (PE): Tap the block.
• Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press the LT button.
• PS3, PS4: Press the L2 button.
• Wii U, Nintendo Switch: Press the ZL button.

After using the hoe and removing the top layer of soil, you will notice that the blocks have turned brown. Now they are ready to plant wheat seeds.

3. Plant The Seeds

Select the wheat seeds in your Hotbar and plant them in the soil blocks you used your hoe on earlier. Plant your seeds using the following controls on your game controller:

• Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition – Right click on the block.
• Pocket Edition (PE): Tap the block.
• Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press the LT button.
• PS3, PS4: Press the L2 button.
• Wii U, Nintendo Switch: Press the ZL button.

Once you have planted your seeds, you will start to see them grow. Let’s speed up that process now!

4. Fertilize The Wheat

Your wheat will grow slowly over time. The planted wheat goes through 8 growth stages (0-7). However, we can speed it up by fertilizing the plants with bone meal.

Select the bone meal in your Hotbar and use the following in-game controls to fertilize your wheat:

• Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition – Right click on the plant.
• Pocket Edition (PE): Tap the plant.
• Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press the LT button.
• PS3, PS4: Press the L2 button.
• Wii U, Nintendo Switch: Press the ZL button.

If you use the bone meal, you will notice that the plants get bigger. Once your wheat farm is fully developed, we can harvest the wheat.

5. Harvest The Wheat

Finally, we want to bring in the harvest. To do this, simply break the grain using the following controls on your game controller:

• Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition – Left click on the plant.
• Pocket Edition (PE) – Touch and hold the plant.
• Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press the RT button.
• PS3, PS4: Press the R2 button.
• Wii U, Nintendo Switch: Press the ZR button.

After breaking the plant, you will notice that the wheat floats where the plant used to be. Make sure to collect the wheat before it disappears.

Now you have wheat! Minecraft wheat is a food used in making bales of bread, cakes, cookies, and hay. It can also be used for cows, sheep and mooshrooms to track you as well as heal a horse’s health 1.
