Food

Food is a type of item that is used to prevent players from starving and dying. In survival mode, one must eat to stay nourished and gain energy for surviving in the harsh wilderness. Depending on which biome a player is in, food sources can range from abundant to rare. If you eat all the food except Cake in Minecraft you will complete a challenge called "A Balanced Diet" in java edition only. You will regenerate health if you have a full hunger bar. The following is a list of all food items:
