Cooked Mutton in Minecraft: Hunger and Saturation
Cooked mutton restores 6 hunger and 9.6 saturation, the same as cooked salmon. Sheep drop raw mutton, so a wool farm can feed you too.
How much does cooked mutton restore?
| Hunger | 6 |
| Saturation | 9.6 |
Each hunger point is half a drumstick, so 6 hunger is 3 drumsticks.
How do you get it?
Cook raw mutton in a furnace, smoker or campfire, or kill sheep with fire. Butchers give it to Hero of the Village players on Java.
Tips
Its saturation is higher than cooked chicken, so it keeps you healing a little longer.
More about cooked mutton
Raw mutton restores 2 hunger and 1.2 saturation, so cooking is worth it. Each piece taken from a furnace gives 0.35 experience, and tamed wolves can eat and breed with it.
How hunger works
Hunger points refill the hunger bar (20 points, 10 drumsticks), and saturation is a hidden buffer that drains first. With 18 or more hunger, or any saturation, health regenerates naturally; at 6 or less you cannot sprint, and at 0 you take starvation damage. Most foods take 1.6 seconds to eat, and you cannot eat at full hunger except a few special foods. Foods with high saturation keep you healing longer, which matters most in fights. Raw food cooks the same in a furnace, a smoker or a campfire: smokers are twice as fast, and campfires need no fuel at all. See food and hunger and sheep.
