About this converter
Java foods restore fixed hunger from 1 to 10 points. Dried Kelp and Beetroot open tied at 1, Cookie and Melon Slice tied at 2, Carrot at 3, Apple and Chorus Fruit tied at 4, Bread at 5, Cooked Chicken, Golden Carrot, Honey Bottle and Mushroom Stew tied at 6, Steak, Cooked Porkchop and Pumpkin Pie tied at 8 and Rabbit Stew at 10. That makes one Rabbit Stew equal ten Dried Kelps of hunger. Every value here is the Java base with saturation left out.
How to use it
Pick two foods and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in hunger. Try 1 Rabbit Stew against Dried Kelps.
Saturation decides how long hunger lasts, which is why Golden Carrot at 6 outlasts Cooked Chicken at 6 in play. Full bar holds 20 points, so Rabbit Stew fills half. Golden Apples add effects on top of 4 hunger and stay noted. Mob health for the same edition runs on the companion health page.
