Pumpkin Pie at a glance

Pumpkin Pie, a food item out of crafting and trading (Farmer), sits under Food. Carrying Pumpkin Pie is cheap: 64 to a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 1728 in a chest. Eating Pumpkin Pie restores 8 hunger, 4 drumsticks on the bar, plus 4.8 saturation.

Restoring 8 hunger and 4.8 saturation, Pumpkin Pie keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue, and the 4.8 is the part that decides how long it takes before you reach for Pumpkin Pie again. Generated chests only ever hold Pumpkin Pie in one place: taiga village houses (roughly 1 in 10). It sits between Pufferfish and Rabbit Stew in Food, number 24 of 37 there.

Eating

Eating Pumpkin Pie takes 1.6 seconds a helping, and 3 of them fill an empty bar, so 4.8 seconds of chewing takes you from starving to full. Every hunger point Pumpkin Pie gives back carries 0.6 saturation with it, which is what decides how long you stay full. Number 16 of 37 for saturation: Cooked Cod at 6 does better, Carrot at 3.6 does worse.

Notes

A shapeless recipe. Good food source when pumpkins and chickens are available.

Frequently asked questions about Pumpkin Pie

  1. Pumpkin, Sugar, Egg going into Pumpkin Pie, the recipe this answer describes

    How do you get Pumpkin Pie in Minecraft?

    Pumpkin Pie is crafted from Pumpkin, Sugar, and Egg at a Crafting Table, in a single step. It also comes from trading (Farmer), not just the recipe above.

  2. A chest beside Pumpkin Pie, the loot this answer lists

    Where do you find Pumpkin Pie in chests?

    Pumpkin Pie is chest loot in one place and one only: taiga village houses (roughly 1 in 10). No other generated chest lists it, so that single structure is the whole search, and every other chest in the game will disappoint you.

    How long does it take to eat Pumpkin Pie?

    1.6 seconds for one Pumpkin Pie, 3 Pumpkin Pie for an empty bar, 4.8 seconds for the two multiplied out. Each bite hands back 8 hunger, so the 3 of them add up to a full bar.

  4. 64 Pumpkin Pie drawn together, the full slot the answer counts

    How many Pumpkin Pie can you stack?

    64 Pumpkin Pie fit one slot, and eating all 64 is 25.6 bars of hunger. A full backpack of 36 inventory slots carries 2,304 at once. A double chest of Pumpkin Pie comes to 3,456, spread over 54 slots.

Building with it

A pumpkin, an egg and sugar give a pie worth eight hunger, and every ingredient renews itself. Pumpkins regrow on their stems, chickens lay eggs, and sugar cane grows by water, so a pie farm is the closest thing to free food at scale.

In practice

Every ingredient in a pie renews itself without replanting: pumpkin stems keep producing, chickens keep laying, and cane keeps growing. That makes pie the food most worth automating, since one build supplies eight hunger a slice for as long as the world runs.
