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.

In this database, Spider Eye sits alongside 36 other Food entries, each with its own page. 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.
