Use Food Icons to Plan Your Meals

Reading Hunger Point Indicators

Food items in your inventory now display hunger point icons that show exactly how much hunger each item will restore when eaten. This visual system lets you quickly compare different foods without opening wikis or memorizing values.

How to Use This Feature

Open your inventory and look at any consumable food item. Below or alongside the item icon, you'll see small hunger notch symbols—each notch represents a portion of your hunger bar that the food will fill. Foods that restore more hunger display more notches.

Use this when:

• Planning expeditions: Grab foods with higher notch counts for long mining trips
• Managing inventory space: Prioritize high-restoration foods when your inventory is full
• Comparing alternatives: Quickly decide between similar foods (like different meats or crops)

Practical Example

When deciding between two food sources before heading to the Nether, you can instantly see which one restores more hunger without guessing. This removes the guesswork from food management and helps you make informed decisions about what to carry.
