Bowl

Bowls are containers made from Wooden Planks whose only use, currently, is to hold Mushroom Stew. The bowl that contains the mushroom stew is returned when the stew is consumed, and 3 planks craft 4 bowls; therefore, they can be crafted in small quantities and reused. They cannot be used as an alternative for Buckets, because they cannot hold water or lava. It is recommended to take stacks of bowls and mushrooms, as Mushrooms and bowls can be stacked, but Mushroom Stew cannot.

History
Bowls were first introduced in the Indev version 0.31 (January 30, 2010).

Usage
The Bowl is used to hold Mushroom Stew. This is currently the only use for the Bowl as of Version 1.0.0. Bowls cannot be used as Buckets to pick up, place, or hold water and lava. However, the player is allowed to "milk" Mooshrooms and fill the bowl with Mushroom Stew.

Bugs

 * Using a stack of bowls on a Mooshroom will destroy the stack and give the player only one Mushroom Stew due to the fact it cannot be stacked. this is fixed in 1.2.5
