About

Hay Bale is a solid block composed of tightly packed hay. It breaks quickly (hardness 0.5) and drops itself when mined, making it easy to place and remove during builds. Admins often use it in mob farms and breeding areas because most farm animals, horses, llamas, sheep, and goats, treat it as food, allowing you to keep mobs fed without constant manual feeding.

The block stacks to 64 and can be given to players with the standard give command. It has a numeric ID (170) for older command versions, but the resource name minecraft:hay_block is preferred for modern servers.
