What Do Cows Eat in Minecraft
Cows in Minecraft only eat wheat. Let’s see how to get it!
#1 Obtain Wheat for Your Cows
Wheat is a basic crop in Minecraft that can be grown from wheat seeds. To get wheat seeds, simply break any grass on the ground. They have a normal chance to drop a wheat seed on broken.
When you have some wheat seeds, craft a hoe and right-click on any dirt or grass blocks to turn them into farmland. Then put the wheat seeds on it to grow. And remember that the farmland must be near to any water source block.
After some time, the wheat is fully grown with a yellow texture, you can harvest it by using the left mouse. You can also use bone meal on the growing seed to speed up the process.
Additionally, wheat can be found in most structures. Whether it’s chests, or spawn naturally in the structure itself. In particular, the villages can contain a lot of farmland that has wheat on them.
#2 What are the Other Benefits of Wheat?
You can use wheat to lure the cow. This is extremely useful if you want to bring them home for further use.
Wheat can also be used to breed two cows to create a baby cow. Later on, you can use wheat to speed up the growth speed of that baby cow too.
#3 How to Find Cows in Minecraft
Cow only spawn on the grass block with a light level greater than 9. Cows can also spawn at night, as long as the grass block is having direct contact with the sky! You can find cows spawning in most biomes, except for snowy plains, snowy taigas, meadows, mangrove swamps, and wooded badlands biome, even if they have grass blocks.
If you’re lucky enough to find the mushroom island biome and some mooshroom, using shears on the mooshroom here will turn them into a normal cow. Besides this, cows can spawn naturally in the village structure as well.
