CHAPTER 3: Gathering Resources
62
That said, unless you are desperate, it is actually much better to take the time to cook all
your meat first. In fact, the secondary processing of foods makes them all healthier, restor-
ing more hunger and saturation points. It’s therefore quite handy to always carry a furnace
in your inventory, along with fuel. When you’ve finished cooking, break the furnace down
with a pickaxe, and it floats back into your inventory. If you don’t mind seeming like a
crazed pyromaniac, you can also both kill and cook pigs, chickens, and cows in one blazing
swoop by setting the ground beneath them on fire with a flint and steel (right-click on the
ground, not the animal), or a little more chaotically by pouring lava from a bucket. Just take
caution that you don’t do this anywhere it could pose a risk, such as near that fantastic
wood cabin you just spent the last three weeks building; there’s no Undo key in Minecraft.
NOTE
Fishing in the Sea of Plenty
Mobs such as chicken, cows, and pigs spawn quite rarely compared to hostile mobs,
so consider them a nonrenewable resource if you kill them in the wild. You’re better
off breeding them in a farm so they can’t wander off and can be readily replaced.
Fish, on the other hand, are unlimited in quantity and very plentiful. You can even fish
in waterfalls! By the way, your hunger bar never decreases when travelling by boat,
making it the perfect opportunity to get in a spot of fishing. And you can never get
food poisoning from raw fish. Sushi anyone? See Chapter 7 for more information.
TIP
Let Them Eat Cake
What’s the quickest way to fill your hunger bar? Eat cake. Unlike another well-known
game, Minecraft’s cake is not a lie. Cake has a quite a complicated recipe, but each
full cake provides up to 6 slices, each worth 1.5 hunger points, or 9 in total, and it’s
less resource intensive than creating golden apples. Minecraft rewards calories, so
eat as much as you like without penalty, quickly building back your full hunger bar but,
as in the real world, the nutrients are lacking, so cake doesn’t provide any saturation
benefit. Make sure you eat some more nutritional foods such as protein as your hun-
ger bar starts to top out to ensure you also get that extra boost. If only they added
pizza!
Finally, if you simply cannot find mobs, your hunger bar has dropped to 0, and your health
has plummeted to half a point, consider at least planting a wheat field and waiting it out in
your shelter for three blocks of wheat to grow so you can harvest them and bake bread.
