Acquiring and Eating Raw Food

Download Article

There are a couple of different ways to obtain food in Minecraft:
2
Find an animal or an oak tree. No matter where you start in the game, you'll be within a short distance of animals or oak trees.
- Kill an animal and pick up its dropped items. You can kill an animal by repeatedly tapping it so that it flashes red.
- Only oak and dark oak trees drop apples. None of the other trees yield edible items.
3
Kill an animal or remove a tree's leaves. Especially early on in a game, your best bet is either to find a pig, a sheep, or a chicken and repeatedly tap it until it dies, or to find an oak tree and remove all of its leaves. You can remove leaves by holding a chunk of them until the circle around your finger completely fills up. If you're lucky, it will drop an apple.
- Foods to generally avoid include rotten flesh (from killing zombies) and spider eyes (from killing spiders), and pufferfish (which you get from fishing or killing a pufferfish); rotten flesh has a slim chance of not giving you hunger and spider eyes poison you for a short amount of time, and pufferfish give you nausea (your screen is messed up) and poison. However, these are a good way to heal yourself up in case of a lack of food and critical health.
4
Craft a fishing rod and cast it into a body of water. You will eventually see a trail of bubbles and the bobber will dip below the water. Reel the rod in after the bobber goes under and you will get a raw fish in your inventory. You can also get salmon, clownfish, pufferfish, and other assorted treasures (leather, saddles, enchanted books, etc.)
You can do so by tapping its icon in the hotbar at the bottom of the screen, or you can select it from your inventory by tapping … on the far-right side of the hotbar and then tapping it in your inventory.
6
Press and hold the screen. Your character will move the food toward their face, and after a few seconds, the food will disappear. You will also gain some of your hunger bar back.
- Remember, you can only eat food when your hunger bar, which is in the top-right corner of the screen, is at less than 100 percent; otherwise, your food will simply act as a tool with which to hit blocks.

Cooking Food

Download Article

1
Gather the necessary resources. To cook food, you'll need a furnace, smoker, or campfire, wood or coal, and a piece of meat or potatoes. Furnaces, smokers, and campfires all require a crafting table for their construction. If you do not know how to craft one, simply search up its name in the crafting menu and click on the image that appears.
- To create a crafting table, chop one block of wood.
- To mine cobblestone, you'll need at least a wooden pickaxe.
- Chop an extra block of wood for the furnace's fuel. This will cook one item. Alternatively, chop two extra blocks of wood: cook one to make charcoal. Charcoal will cook 8 items.
It's on the far-right side of your hotbar at the bottom of the screen.
You'll find this option on the left side of the screen, just above the tab in the bottom-left corner.
The 4 x button is on the right side of the screen, and it has the wooden crate's icon to its right. This will convert your one block of wood into four wooden crates.
It resembles the tab you're currently using. This will create a crafting table.
6
Tap the crafting table in the hotbar. Doing so will place it in your hand.
- If the table isn't in the hotbar, tap … twice, then tap the crafting table icon.
It's in the top-left corner of the screen.
Doing so will place the crafting table on the ground.
This will open the crafting table's interface, from which you can select a furnace.
It's a grey stone block with a black opening on its front.
Doing so will exit the crafting table interface.
12
Tap the oven in the hotbar. This will place it in your hand.
- Again, if the oven won't fit, tap … and select it.
This will place the oven on the ground.
14
Tap the oven. This will open its interface. You'll see three boxes on the right side of the screen:
- Input - This is where your food goes.
- Fuel - You'll place your wood here.
- Result - The cooked food will appear here.
Doing so will place it in the "Input" box.
This will place the wood in the oven, thereby starting the cooking process.
Once an item appears in the "Result" box, your food is done.
This will add it back into your inventory.
You can do so by tapping its icon in the hotbar at the bottom of the screen, or you can select it from your inventory by tapping … on the far-right side of the hotbar and then tapping it in your inventory.
20
Press and hold the screen. Your character will move the food toward their face, and after a few seconds, the food will disappear. You will also gain some of your hunger bar back.
- Remember, you can only eat food when your hunger bar, which is in the top-right corner of the screen, is at less than 100 percent; otherwise, your food will simply act as a tool with which to hit blocks.
- Cooked food restores more of your hunger bar than raw food does.

Question
Why can't I eat in creative mode?
Community Answer
Because in creative mode you are creating stuff and not actually playing so you won't be getting hungry.

Question
Why is Minecraft PE different from the regular version?
Community Answer
Mojang has different priorities for different versions of Minecraft. For example, PC gets all the new updates first, then console, and then PE. Minecraft was originally made to be a PC game, so the PC version is always highest-priority. Plus, mobile devices just don't support some of the more complex features that you can get on a PC.
