Sweet Berries at a glance

Food hold Sweet Berries: food items out of harvesting sweet berry bushes and chest loot. 64 Sweet Berries fit in a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 3456 in a double chest. On the hunger bar Sweet Berries fill 1 drumstick, 2 points, with 0.4 saturation behind them.

2 hunger back per Sweet Berries keeps natural regeneration running, and the 0.4 saturation behind it is what buys you the time until the next meal, rather longer than the hunger number on its own suggests. Generated chests only ever hold Sweet Berries in one place: taiga village houses (about 41%, 1 to 7 at a time). They sits between Suspicious Stew and Tropical Fish in Food, number 36 of 37 there.
