Rotten Flesh

Rotten flesh is a food item which can be eaten by the player, but with the risk of food poisoning.

Obtaining
Rotten flesh is dropped by zombies, zombie villagers, and zombie pigmen. Zombies and zombie villagers drop 0 to 2 rotten flesh when they die, and zombie pigmen drop 0 or 1 rotten flesh. The Looting enchantment increases the maximum number of possible drops by 1 per level. A single rotten flesh is also dropped by zombie horses, but they can only be summoned with commands.

Rotten flesh may also be found in chests in desert temples and jungle temples, and may be caught as a "junk" item while fishing.

Usage
To eat rotten flesh, right-click and hold while rotten flesh is selected in the hotbar.

Eating rotten flesh restores 4 hunger and 0.8 hunger saturation, but has an 80% chance of inflicting food poisoning for 30 seconds (a Hunger effect). Drinking milk will end the food poisoning immediately. Alternatively, players can choose to stand still for the duration of the poisoning as not moving will not cause the hunger bar to go down.

Rotten flesh can be used to heal or breed tamed wolves without risk of food poisoning.

Future
Rotten flesh can be traded to villager priests for emeralds.
