In Minecraft Ultra Hardcore (UHC), every health point counts. Consuming the wrong foods can lead to food poisoning, wasting valuable resources and putting you at a disadvantage. This guide will help you identify risky foods and provide safe alternatives.
Risky Foods to Avoid:
- Raw Chicken: Eating raw chicken has a 30% chance of giving you food poisoning, causing hunger depletion for 30 seconds. Always cook chicken before consumption.
- Pufferfish: Consuming a pufferfish causes nausea, poison, and hunger effects. Avoid eating pufferfish altogether.
- Rotten Flesh: While it might be tempting in desperate times, eating rotten flesh has an 80% chance of inducing hunger for 30 seconds. It's best avoided unless absolutely necessary.
Safe Alternatives:
- Cooked Meats: Cooked chicken, steak, porkchop, and mutton are all safe and provide high saturation and hunger restoration.
- Fish: Cooked cod and salmon are safe to eat and provide a decent amount of hunger restoration.
- Vegetables and Fruits: Carrots, potatoes (cooked), apples, and berries are all safe to eat and can be good sources of food in a pinch.
Preventing Food Poisoning:
- Always cook meat before eating to eliminate the risk of food poisoning.
- Keep a furnace or campfire handy to cook food as soon as you obtain it.
- Prioritize gathering and cooking safe food sources over risky ones.
Dealing with Accidental Poisoning:
- If you accidentally eat something that causes poisoning, have milk on hand to counteract the effects.
- Keep your hunger bar full to ensure you continue to regenerate health even while poisoned.
- Golden apples can also help counteract the effects of poison by providing regeneration.
By avoiding foods that can cause poisoning and sticking to safe alternatives, you can maintain your health and focus on surviving and thriving in Minecraft UHC.
