It's always essential to carry Food in Minecraft because if you're not paying attention to your food bar, you can starve and die. Nearly all Food will refill your hunger bar, and when your hunger bar is high enough, your health will begin to fill back up naturally. Depending on what you eat, too, will play a factor in how much your hunger bar refills. For instance, cooked pork will fill you up faster than an unbaked potato would. There are always new items being added with every update in Minecraft. So there might be some food missing.

This Food guide will detail everything you'll need to know about Food in Minecraft. With details on how to cook specific Food, how to get particular Food, and what you can craft with Food.

What Is Food and What Does It Do in Minecraft

Food in Minecraft is essential. It's something you should always have on you because if your Food Bar is fully depleted, you begin to lose health. Food allows you to refill your hunger bar and prevent losing health. And some food will give you effects that'll either help you or hurt you, so be careful about what you eat.

What Is Hunger in Minecraft

Players can spot their Hunger Bar by looking at the bottom right of their screen, right above the XP bar. It looks like a drumstick, and the more you move around, the more it starts to deplete. When a Hunger Bar is draining, the drumstick will look like it's being eaten, and when it's fully drained, it'll become a silhouette as a health heart would.

How to Get Food in Minecraft

There's a variety of ways to obtain Food in Minecraft. Players can grow specific foods like Carrots, Beetroot, and Potato. Or they keep specific mobs like Pigs, Sheep, and Cows around to kill and cook the Food they drop.

But you don't need to farm or keep animals around to obtain Food if you want to. You simply kill any mob that drops Food whenever you see them and find Food in chests all over the world in-game.

Best Food in Minecraft

Even though there's a variety of Food to eat in Minecraft, that doesn't mean you should eat them all. Most food items in-game will refill your hunger bars, but there are some that'll poison you if eaten. Not all Food in Minecraft is worth eating. Below is a list of the best Food in Minecraft.

• Bread
• Baked Potato
• Enchanted Golden Apple
• Golden Apple
• Golden Carrot
• Cooked Pork
• Cooked Beef
• Mushroom Stew
• Suspicious Stew
