Saturation is an instant status effect that reduces the need for eating. It also prevents death by hunger if the player has no food.

Effect

The Saturation effect instantly replenishes 1 () × level and 2 × level points of saturation‌^[1].

If the effect lasts longer than one tick, the player continues gaining 1 hunger point and 2 saturation points on each tick, with 20 ticks (1 second) completely replenishing the hunger bar. Negative levels decrease hunger and saturation.

Causes

Cause	Potency	Length	Notes
Suspicious Stew	I	0.30 seconds (6 ticks)‌ 0.35 seconds (7 ticks)‌	Must be crafted with Blue Orchid or Dandelion

Immune mobs

• Withers and ender dragons are immune to Saturation.
• only players are affected by saturation, because the other mobs don't have a hunger system.

Notes

All foods replenish food saturation, but none actually add the Saturation status effect, with the exception of suspicious stew crafted with a dandelion or blue orchid.
