The vast blocky biomes of Minecraft are filled with all manner of plants and wildlife. From the peaceful roaming Pigs, Cows, and Chickens on the surface to the calmly swimming Squids, Dolphins, and Fish underwater, animals of all kinds can be encountered and interacted with on the blocky worlds. Similarly, players can find numerous plants to aid them on their journey of exploration, including various types of trees, flowers, and seaweed. However, once night falls, more than just animals will roam the blocky landscapes of Minecraft as numerous monsters will begin targeting the player, such as Creepers, Spiders, Skeletons, and Zombies.




Players will often have to go out searching for and preparing various types of food to help prepare for battle against hordes of mobs as well as to stave off hunger. Over Minecraft’s 15-year-long history, several new food items have been added to help prevent players from dying of starvation beyond simple Porkchops and Cooked Chicken. Many new food items also introduced new, more complex recipes and mechanics, including the ability to farm crops, the ability to use certain food items to make animals breed, and the ability to use certain food items in potion making. To help players organize their Minecraft kitchens, here’s a ranking of every food item in Minecraft, ranked by how effective each item is at healing the player and staving off starvation.

S-Tier Minecraft Food – Rare Gems


  • Enchanted Golden Apple
  • Golden Apple
  • Golden Carrot
  • Rabbit Stew
  • Suspicious Stew

Minecraft’s best food items are the ones that fill the most hearts and hunger points in a single meal and are some of the hardest to come by in the game. Enchanted Apples cannot be crafted and can only be found in chests. When consumed, Enchanted Golden Apples will fill four hunger points, grant players Absorption 4 for two minutes, which will give players eight additional golden hearts, Regeneration for 20 seconds, Fire Resistance 1 for five minutes, and Resistance 1 for five minutes. In contrast, regular Golden Apples can be crafted with eight golden ingots and an apple. Regular Golden Apples will grant players Absorption 1 for two minutes, which will give players four additional golden hearts and Regeneration.


Golden Carrots can be crafted with eight golden nuggets and can be used to craft the Potion of Night Vision when brewed with an Awkward Potion. In terms of health and hunger regeneration, Golden Carrots restore six hunger points when consumed. Rabbit Stew is one of the most complex meals to craft, requiring one Cooked Rabbit, a Carrot, a Baked Potato, a Mushroom, and a wooden bowl. When eaten, Rabbit Stew will restore 10 hunger points, more than any other single, unmodified food item in Minecraft. Suspicious Stew can be made with both Mushrooms, a wooden bowl, and any type of flower. Each flower will create different types of effects, such as a Blue Orchid giving players a saturation effect allowing for the stew to restore 13 hunger points.

Enchanted Golden Apples used to be craftable with eight blocks of gold before the Combat Update was released on Java Edition in 2016.

A-Tier Minecraft Food – Basic Delights


  • Beetroot Soup
  • Cooked Chicken
  • Cooked Porkchops
  • Cooked Salmon
  • Cooked Mutton
  • Honey Bottle
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Steak

While the best Minecraft food items feature complex recipes, players can still find and make easy to acquire meals that can restore health and hunger effectively. Some of the most common food items in players’ inventories are Cooked Chicken, Porkchops, Salmon, Mutton, and Steak, as they can easily be made by killing a roaming farm animal and cooking their meat in a furnace. Each of these items restore eight to six hunger points each when eaten. All of these cooked meats can be fed to tamed Wolves to restore health if they were attacked by a hostile mob or rival player.


In certain villages, players may find Villagers farming a plot of beets. While one Beetroot alone doesn’t offer too many regenerative capabilities, six Beetroots could be combined in a wooden bowl to create Beetroot Soup. When eaten, Beetroot Soup will restore six hunger points. Players may also find wild pumpkin patches scattered about grassy biomes and, while they can be made into Jack o’Lanterns and used as helmets, they can also be made into Pumpkin Pie with an Egg and Sugar. Pumpkin Pies restore eight hunger points when consumed. If players manage to safely build a Bee farm with beehives, they can extract Honey from the hives with glass bottles. The Honey Bottle can then be “eaten” to restore six points of hunger and heal poison effects.

Honey is the only food in
Minecraft
that players can consume with a glass battle.

B-Tier Minecraft Food – Above Average Options

  • Apple
  • Baked Potato
  • Bread
  • Carrot
  • Chorus Fruit
  • Cooked Cod
  • Cooked Rabbit


If players are exploring and don’t have easy access to furnaces and coal, they can still find some wild and raw food to quench their hunger for a little while. If leaf blocks are broken or trees are cut down, Apples may occasionally fall and be eaten by players to restore four hunger points. Players may additionally find plots of carrots grown in villages or find them dropped by slain Zombies. Carrots can restore three hunger points when eaten and are used to breed pigs and rabbits. If players run out of food while exploring The End, they can eat Chorus Fruit from tree-like Chorus Plants, which can restore four hunger points. Chorus Fruit will additionally cause the player to teleport in any direction, like Endermen.


Some cooked food doesn’t offer as many benefits as cooked meat from larger animals. Both Cooked Cod and Cooked Rabbit will only restore five points of hunger rather than Cooked Salmon’s six points. If players find a village with Potato farms or find one dropped by a Zombie, gamers can put potatoes in a furnace to make Baked Potatoes. This baked vegetable can restore five hunger points and be used to make Rabbit Stew. Also, in villages or just found in common grass are Wheat Seeds, which can be grown into Wheat and turned into Bread. When eaten, Bread can restore five points of hunger.

C-Tier Minecraft Food – Treats Worth Avoiding

  • Beetroot
  • Cake
  • Cookies
  • Dried Kelp
  • Glow Berries
  • Melon Slice
  • Poisonous Potato
  • Potato
  • Pufferfish
  • Raw Beef
  • Raw Chicken
  • Raw Cod
  • Raw Mutton
  • Raw Porkchop
  • Raw Rabbit
  • Raw Salmon
  • Rotten Flesh
  • Spider Eye
  • Sweet Berries
  • Tropical Fish


All remaining food items restore very few points of hunger and can even cause damage and other negative effects on the player. Raw Beef, Porkchops, and Rabbits can restore three hunger points, but may also be used to breed tamed Wolves. Raw Cod, Salmon, and Tropical Fish can restore one to two hunger points and can be used to tame cats. Sweet Berries can be found in taiga biomes, can be used to tame Foxes, and can restore two hunger points. However, players will have to be careful when harvesting Sweet Berries as their bushes have thorns and can prick the player similar to cacti.

Many food items in Minecraft can harm the player and should only be used if players have no other food available to them. During long battles with Zombie hordes, players will often gather stacks of Rotten Flesh which can restore four hunger points but may inflict the hunger effect, causing players’ hunger bar to lower rapidly after consumption. Similarly, Spider Eyes can restore two hunger points and could be used to breed Armadillos, but they will poison the player for five seconds if eaten. Pufferfish may look appetizing, but they only restore one hunger point and can inflict hunger, poison, and nausea effects for over 15 seconds. However, Pufferfish are useful in brewing Potions of Water Breathing.
