Food questions
How many food items are in Minecraft?
Counting food items in this catalogue gives 37, starting at Golden Apple and ending at Tropical Fish. 15 food items are craftable, the other 22 food items are not.
Which food item restores the most hunger?
Cake, at 14 hunger and 2.8 saturation, leads the 37 edible food items. Saturation drains before hunger does, so a food item with a high second number keeps you full longer.
What tool breaks food items fastest?
1 is placeable blocks, and the food item page names both the tool and the hardness. Cake is the slowest of these food items at hardness 0.5, so every other food item breaks quicker than Cake.
Do food items stack in Minecraft?
32 food items stack; 5 fill a slot on their own. Each food item page states the stack size for that food item, so a chest of food items is a slot count away.
