Survive Starvation Using Your Own Flesh

When your hunger bar is critically low and no other food sources are available, you can harvest your own flesh as a last resort.

Harvesting Your Flesh

Equip a knife and hold Shift while right-clicking on yourself. This will damage your health but drop a piece of Player Flesh. Raw Player Flesh restores a small amount of hunger, but cooking it in a furnace significantly increases its nutritional value.

Cooking and Eating

Place your raw Player Flesh in a furnace to cook it. Cooked Player Flesh restores much more hunger than the raw version, making it worth the extra time if you have access to fuel and a furnace.

Managing Wendigo Level

Be aware that eating Player Flesh increases your Wendigo Level. At high levels, you'll gain temporary buffs like Speed and Strength, but you'll also experience increased hunger drain and eventually negative effects like Nausea and Blindness. If the Wendigo mechanic is enabled on your server, reaching the maximum level will summon a dangerous Wendigo mob and reset your level, so use this survival method sparingly.
