There are many different food items in the game, but not all are good for consumption. A few of them may also inflict adverse effects on the player.

When a player smelts kelp in a furnace, smoker, or campfire, they get dried kelp. It is mainly used to craft dried kelp blocks, which are among the best fuels in the game.

Players can eat it about twice as fast as any other food item, but it only restores one health point (half drumstick).

It is a common item that a player can obtain by killing spiders and cave spiders. They are also generated in loot chests of desert temples. The primary use of spider eyes is for brewing mundane potions and potions of poison.

When eaten, it restores two hunger points and about three hunger saturation points. It also applies a poison effect that causes four health points of damage and reduces saturation by six points.
