Crops are food items that can be grown and harvested within the world. These are typically fruits or vegetables, that can prove effective for a quick fix, but don't restore as much hunger as meat or fish.

Meat

Meat food items are typically dropped by slain mobs. They can be eaten raw, but most of them would be better if cooked.

Fish

Fish food items can be collected by fishing in water. Pufferfish also has an added benefit of being a useful potion ingredient.

Cake, while not an individual Item, is also considered Food and restores Hunger. When placed as a block, players may consume the cake one slice at a time.

How Food Affects Hunger

Food Restores Hunger

MC - Eating Restores Hunger Being Full Restores Health.gif
Eating Food restores Hunger, with some food restoring more hunger points than others. Certain types of foods can also keep you full for longer, which lessens the need to continuously eat and carry plenty of food items. It is important to keep full to continuously regenerate health.

Based on our observation, cooked food and golden food (such as Golden Apples and Golden Carrots) tend to be better at restoring hunger and keeping you full than uncooked food.
