Food encompasses various consumable items that serve the purpose of replenishing hunger points and hunger saturation points when consumed. Additionally, certain types of food may induce status effects. The consumption of food is crucial for survival, as prolonged periods without food will result in the player experiencing starvation, causing damage until reaching a critical level of health, such as 10 hearts in Easy difficulty or 1 heart in Normal mode. In Hard and Hardcore Mode, starvation damage ultimately leads to the player's death.
To consume food, the player must select the desired food item in the hot bar or off-hand and then hold down the use button. However, the cake cannot be consumed directly and must be placed on a surface before it can be eaten. It's important to note that, with the exception of chorus fruit, golden apples, honey bottles, milk, and suspicious stew (exclusive to Java Edition), food cannot be consumed when the hunger bar is completely full. However, in Creative Mode, any food item can be consumed regardless of hunger level.
Most food items and ingredients can be stacked in inventory slots, except for milk, rabbit stew, mushroom stew, beetroot soup, suspicious stew, and cake (exclusive to Java Edition).
The player's food management in Minecraft involves two distinct statistics: hunger level and saturation level. The hunger level is visible to the player, while the saturation level remains hidden.
Saturation is the initial statistic that decreases when a player engages in energy-consuming activities. It must be completely depleted before the visible hunger meter starts to decrease. The depletion of saturation can be recognized when the hunger meter begins to jitter.
Consuming a food item restores a fixed number of hunger points and saturation points, which vary depending on the specific food item. Certain foods have a more favorable ratio of saturation to hunger points replenishment than others. It's worth noting that exceeding the maximum hunger level does not contribute to saturation.
A player's current saturation level cannot surpass their current hunger level. For instance, if a player's hunger level is 5, their maximum saturation level will also be 5. Food always replenishes hunger (increasing the saturation limit) before providing saturation. The most effective approach to food consumption involves initially eating low-nourishment food to fill the hunger bar, followed by consuming highly nourishing food to reach maximum saturation. While consuming nourishing food when the hunger bar is almost full may result in a few wasted hunger points, consuming such food when the hunger bar is low wastes even more saturation points. Maximizing saturation extends the duration before the player needs to eat again and potentially increases the amount of health regenerated.
To consume most foods in Minecraft, you can hold down the right-click button while holding the food item in your hand. It typically takes 1.61 seconds to eat most foods, although dried kelp only takes 0.865 seconds to consume. In Java Edition, players also have the ability to hold food in their offhand.
While eating, food particles emerge from the player's mouth, corresponding to the specific food being consumed, accompanied by a munching sound effect. The act of eating also causes the player's movement speed to significantly decrease.
Cake, on the other hand, requires a slightly different approach. It must be eaten by placing it in the game world and then right-clicking on its block form. Consuming cake is instantaneous, and the cake itself consists of 7 individual slices. Each slice restores 2 hunger points and provides 0.4 hunger saturation.
