Baked Potato
Material Stack: 64 Since 1.4.2 (Pretty Scary Update)
Quick answer: Bake a potato in a furnace, smoker or campfire - 0.35 XP per piece from a furnace.
How to get it
- Bake a potato in a furnace, smoker or campfire - 0.35 XP per piece from a furnace
- On Java only: zombies, zombie villagers and husks killed while on fire drop a baked potato directly
- Loot taiga village house chests
Uses
- Eat it: 5 hunger and 6.0 saturation - the best early-game food, since potatoes need no cooking fuel infrastructure beyond one furnace
- Craft rabbit stew: cooked rabbit + carrot + baked potato + mushroom + bowl
- Compost extras at an 85% rate
Renewability
Renewable: one potato starts a farm, and a stack of baked potatoes costs nothing but time.
Java vs Bedrock
Watch out: fire-killed zombies drop baked potatoes only on Java - on Bedrock they drop raw potatoes instead.
