Summary
- Minecraft players need to pay attention to their hunger bar, which decreases as they perform activities. Eating food is necessary to replenish hunger and avoid starvation.
- Cake is one of the best foods in Minecraft for replenishing hunger points, but it has low saturation points. It can be easily crafted or bought from villagers.
- While cake is a popular food, some players prefer using cooked Porkchop as a food source due to its high nutritional value. However, cake is a visually appealing and iconic food item in the game.
A Minecraft player has filled a room with cake, creating a stockpile of one of the most affordable foods in the game. To survive in Minecraft, the player's concern isn't just enemies. Minecraft players must pay attention to things such as hunger to avoid problems while on an adventure through Mojang's game.
Hunger is a Minecraft mechanic that directly affects the player's gameplay. Minecraft regulates hunger using a bar of drumsticks that decreases as the player performs activities such as running, digging, or attacking. The hunger bar will continuously go down until the player eats something or dies of starvation. To recover the hunger bar, Minecraft players can consume different foods. Each food replenishes different levels of hunger and saturation, which is how quickly the hunger bar is depleted. One example is cooked Porkchop, which recovers eight hunger points and 12.8 saturation points.
Reddit user slimetakes filled a room with cake, one of the most popular treats in Mojang's sandbox. In the image shared by the player, they show a room with more than 30 cakes crafted in survival mode, and the caption joking that "players can't guess what their favorite food source is." The cake is one of the best foods in Minecraft for recovering hunger points, as one cake replenishes 14 points, the most of any food in the game. The downside is that cake only restores 2.8 saturation points, one of the lowlest in the game. Despite this detail, Minecraft's cake is an easy item to craft, requiring only milk, sugar, egg, and wheat. Minecraft players can also buy a cake from villagers who are expert-level farmers for just one emerald.
In the publication, one of the players thought it was a lot of work to harvest the ingredients to create dozens of cakes when pigs exist in the game. Porkchop isn't very nutritious when it's raw, but once it's cooked it becomes one of the best food sources in Minecraft. Another player suggested covering the rest of the room with cakes, which would be possible thanks to how it works. Unlike other food items, the cake sticks to the block it's placed on and cannot be picked up again.
The Minecraft cake has earned its place as one of the tastiest-looking foods in video games. It's a simple item to make, with a low price in emeralds, and one that can significantly help the player survive. Interestingly, cake is also one of the foods that Minecraft's pandas look for in addition to bamboo.
Minecraft is available on mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and most legacy platforms.
