Gathering (from Berry Bushes throughout the Forest Biome or player-planted Berry bushes)

**Berries** are the most common food in the game. They grow from berry bushes, which are identified as purple dots on the mini-map. A berry bush, which can hold 5 berries at a time, is about enough for a single person, and more can be planted using seeds (3 berries at a campfire). Bushes planted by players can only hold 3 berries at a time and can die from age. Using Hammers or Weapons to harvest berries from planted bushes kill them faster. Berries fill the hunger bar faster than Raw Meat, but nowhere near Cooked Meat.

**Raw Meat** is dropped the following mobs and their respective amounts. Note that item drops can be doubling by using a [Machete].

Raw Meat Drops
 Lava Dragon | 10

It is not recommended to eat raw meat as it causes food poisoning, does not fill the hunger bar very well and can be instead be used to make Cooked Meat, which is far more effective. Acquiring it may also be difficult, due to a Rabbit's tendency to run away and hostility of the other mobs.

## Cooked Meat

"Piece of steak - a little burnt, but still delicious."

**Cooked meat** can be crafted with Raw Meat near a heat source. Even if it's the efficient food, new and more advanced players might collect berries over meat, since it is easier and quicker to gather. Cooked Meat also needs to be crafted, which can take a long time.

**Bread** is a **food** item made out of flour. It was added in the Vamos a la Playa update. Bread restores about 1/5 of the hunger bar when consumed. Considering that cookies can restore about double the hunger bar, with only one more berry in the recipe, they are more effective and more efficient to make. Bread can be used to make sandwiches.

**Sandwich** is a food item which fills 100% of the food bar. This item was added in the Chrono Quests update. Each sandwich is crafted with 1 bread and 1 Cooked Meat. As it fills more than the two of them combined, it is a very effective source of food.

Gathering (from planted pumpkin seeds)

Restores: 30% of the food bar

Damages: 0% of the life bar

Restores: 0% of the water bar

**Pumpkin** is a **food** item, which grows from planted pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds will spawn at random locations within the forest biome. Gather some pumpkin seeds and plant them on dirt (anywhere on the forest floor, or in a plant plot if in the winter or on water) to grow your own pumpkins. Plant pots can also be placed on the dirt in the Forest biome to grow faster.

Like berries, pumpkins can be eaten, and do not have to be processed into other products beforehand (e.g. Raw Meat should be cooked to Cooked Meat). Consuming a pumpkin restores 30% of the food bar. However, unlike berries and wheat, pumpkins cannot be further crafted into better foods.

### Source

Gathering (from planted garlic seeds)

Restores: 14% of the food bar

Damages: 0% of the life bar

Restores: 0% of the water bar

**Garlic** is a food item added in the Sun and Moon update. When eaten, garlic will restore the food bar, and also act like a weak bandage. Eating garlic will also stop players from losing their cold bar for a few seconds.

Garlic cannot be crafted into better foods. Garlic in appearance is very similar to pumpkin, trading the orange for a very pale green. Garlic is deadly against vampires in Vampire Mode. Vampires take damage over time if standing next to a garlic bulb, or holding garlic in the inventory. They will **instantly die** if they try to eat garlic. If a vampire dies due to eating garlic, a message will appear saying "You ate garlic as a vampire, what did you expect?"

**Crab sticks** are a **food** item dropped by the crab and the king crab. One Crab Stick, along with one Crab Claw is dropped when a crab is killed. Four Crab Sticks and Claws are dropped when a King Crab is killed.

They can also be crafted into the Crab Helmet.

Restores: 16% of the food bar

**Tomato** is a kind of food that can only be obtained via farming, it can be used to buy Amethyst (8 tomatoes for 1 amethyst) or to buy Thorn Bush Seeds (16 tomatoes for 1 thorn bush seeds) in the Bread Market. In order to buy one Tomato Seed, you need 20 Carrots. It is one of the most inefficient food sources in the game, only consumed by the fact that is easy to get a lot of them.

Another way to obtain Tomato Seeds is to craft them. You need 8 tomatoes for 1 seed and have to be near a fire source.

**Carrot** is a food item that was added in the "Lets Farm Some Money" update. It can be used to buy Tomato Seeds or Diamonds in the Bread Market, or be eaten to restore 16% of the Hunger Bar. Its seed counterpart can be bought with 10 Pumpkins.

### Source

Gathering (from planted Watermelon seeds, which can be bought for 10 Tomatoes from the Market.)

### Effectiveness

Very useful when you don't have a bottle.

**Watermelon** is a food item grown from watermelon seeds, which are bought from the shop with garlic. They restore not only food but also a little bit of thirst too, making them useful if you don't have a bottle or aren't near a water source at the moment. However, due to the amount of time it usually takes to get watermelon regularly, a normal player would most likely already have a bottle, so this feature doesn't see much use. But its still effective, and can at least replace food and water sources.
