About Hay Bale

The Hay Bale is a block made from wheat, mainly used for decoration and compact storage. You can turn nine wheat into one bale, then craft it back into nine wheat whenever you need it again.

It also has a few practical quirks. Falling onto a hay bale reduces fall damage by 80 percent, so it makes a soft landing pad in a pinch. Farmers also use hay bales to breed llamas, and the block is flammable, so keep it away from fire and lava.

How to get Hay Bale

You can craft a Hay Bale from nine wheat in a crafting grid. You can also find them already placed in plains villages, where they often appear as bundles in animal pens or as decoration. If you break them with any tool or by hand, they drop themselves, so village bales are an easy early source.
