Tutorials/Quick ways to get food

Eating food is one of the main mechanics in Minecraft. But a player may quickly lose food when they're out of their base and start starving. This tutorial focuses on some of the fastest ways to get some food.

Killing animals which drop meat with fire
When a cow, mooshroom, pig, hoglin, chicken, sheep, rabbit, cod, salmon, guardian, elder guardian or dolphin are killed by fire, they drop the cooked variant of their meat. This list shows mobs, food from them when they are killed without fire and food from them when they are killed by fire:

Cooked food have better saturation and restore more hunger than raw meat. Player can kill mobs with fire using flint and steel, fire charge, lava or some naturally generated fire in the nether.

Looting a Village
are filled with crops in farms, in piles of hay bales lying around, and other food, like bread or apples in their chests. These food items can be found in the village chests:

Rotten Flesh
Rotten flesh is one of the most common items in the game. It can be earned from chest loot, zombies and other zombie-type mobs like zombified piglins. When is rotten flesh eaten, it has an 80% to give the player hunger for 30 seconds. The best way to eat rotten flesh with the shortest duration of hunger is drinking milk after eating rotten flesh.

Dried Kelp
Kelp very common if the player is near an ocean. When kelp is broken, it can be smelted into dried kelp. A player can consume dried kelp about twice as fast as any other food item in the game. The biggest disadvantage is that dried kelp restores only hunger and 0.6 saturation.
