Overview
Spider Eye is a food item in the Food category of Minecraft, obtained through killing spiders and cave spiders, killing witches, and looting witch huts. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Spider Eye. Eating it restores 2 hunger (1 drumstick) and 3.2 saturation points.
Restoring 2 hunger and 3.2 saturation, Spider Eye keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue; higher saturation means you stay full for longer before needing to eat again. Spider Eye additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Fermented Spider Eye. Generated chests only ever hold Spider Eye in one place: desert pyramid chests (about 27%, 1 to 3 at a time).
