Rotten Flesh

foodCommon

Rotten Flesh is an item in Minecraft. It restores 4 hunger points when eaten. It can be obtained by trading with villagers.

Rotten Flesh is a food item dropped by zombies, husks, drowned, and zoglins. It restores four hunger points but has an 80% chance to inflict the Hunger effect for 30 seconds, making it an unreliable food source for players.

Despite its drawbacks, Rotten Flesh can be used to breed and heal wolves without any negative effects, making it valuable for wolf taming. It can also be traded with cleric villagers in exchange for emeralds, providing a useful way to convert excess Rotten Flesh into valuable resources.

While not an ideal food source due to its high risk of hunger, Rotten Flesh is commonly used in emergencies when no other food is available, especially in the early game or in hardcore survival situations.
