Food

Food is used in Minecraft to restore health (hearts). Some types of food are used to make comestibles that you can consume (eggs, milk, sugar, wheat, and mushrooms cannot be eaten on their own). To enjoy a sumptuous repast in-game, select the desired food from the toolbar and right-click.

While most food ingredients (with the exception of Milk) are stackable items, food items cannot be stacked in the inventory.

Food Ingredients
Eggs, milk, mushrooms, wheat, and sugar cannot heal unless they are crafted in a recipe with other ingredients.
