How to Make Custom Food in Minecraft Bedrock (Free, No Coding)

Guides › Items & tools

Custom food is an item players can eat or drink. In Bedrock, food restores hunger (the drumsticks) and saturation, which decides how long you stay full. An add-on can add any food you like: magic berries, potions, soups, snacks or energy drinks.

The Food editor in Addon's Studio sets all of this with simple sliders and switches. You can also make food do something special when it's finished, like giving speed or night vision.

Step by step

1. Add Food

   In your project, tap Add item and choose Food. Name it and draw its icon, or import a picture.

2. Set hunger and saturation

   Hunger restored is in points, and every 2 points fills one drumstick. Saturation decides how long it keeps you full; steak is 0.8.

3. Pick the animation and eating time

   Choose Eat or Drink and set how many seconds it takes. Turn on Can eat when full for snacks or potions players can have any time.

4. Add leftovers

   Use Leaves behind to hand back an item after eating, such as minecraft:bowl for soups.

5. Add effects with a Finish eating action

   Under Actions, choose Finish eating and type a command like effect @s speed 10 1. You can also run one of your functions.

6. Add a recipe and export

   Turn on Crafting to make it craftable, then tap Export and try it in a world.

Tips

• Golden apples feel special because of their effects. Pair high saturation with a short buff for a rare food.
• Use the Drink animation for potions, juice and soup.
• Commands in a Finish eating action run as the player, so @s is whoever ate it.
• Turn on Enchanted shine to make magic food stand out in the inventory.
• Add a Smelting Recipe so a raw version can be cooked in a smoker or on a campfire.
