Food[]
Foods are items that restore hunger points on consumption (as shown in the Hunger bar) and have a direct bearing on the player's health (see 'hunger' for more on effects). Except for milk, cake, and mushroom stew, food items and ingredients can be stacked in the inventory. Holding the "Use Item" button (default is Button 2, right mouse button) makes the player eat the food in their hand. With the exception of Golden Apples, food may not be eaten when the hunger bar is full.
Food Items[]
The Donut[]
Since the introduction of tall grass, Donuts, like bread are arguably among the most efficient early sustainable foods sources, with only mushroom stew easier to produce (in certain environments). By building farms out into open water, Wheat production can be started on Day 1 with no other tools than a Wooden Hoe. With a little luck at night, Bone Meal will ensure you have your first donuts before dawn. Donuts have the advantage of not requiring a furnace or fuel, although lighting the farm up to the required light level of 9 for constant crop growth will consume some amount of coal or charcoal.

Bacon[]
Bacon is an easily obtainable food that requires nothing other than killing pigs. It is likely the easiest food to be obtained cheaply and easily, especially to newcoming players. Turning pork into bacon creates the advantage of healing more throughout the 6 pieces of bacon than the piece of pork.

Watermelons[]
Watermelons can be obtained by being crafted from melon slices. Although they are not the easiest food to be obtained for newcomers, their advantage is the whole melon heals more than all the 6 slices that go into creating it.
