The Minecraft hardcore mode is considered one of the hardest survival modes, where if the player dies, then the world is deleted permanently and there is no scope of respawn. The player must use every advantage to stay alive.
Good food helps by restoring hunger, keeping saturation high so the player does not need to eat often, and sometimes giving extra effects. High-quality food items are harder to find or craft, but they deliver greater benefits. The following are five of the best food items, selected for their strong healing, high saturation, and usefulness in dangerous situations. Each entry will include the recipe or how to get it and how many hunger and saturation points are restored.
