How to Cook Meat in Minecraft

Author Info

Last Updated: March 29, 2024

There are two benefits to cooking meat in Minecraft instead of eating it raw. The first one is that you won't get food poisoning, a status effect that will hurt your health and hunger bars, which is quite contrary to what you want. The second is that you gain more hunger bars after eating cooked meat rather than raw meat. Don't be stingy with your coal (or any other fuel) and start cooking the meat!

Get eight sticks. Put them in the border of the crafting table boxes and put a piece of leather in the middle.

Ads usually have a X or something that you can press to make them go away. Press that, and the ads should go away.

Hold down the button that you place blocks with. This won't work in Creative Mode.
