Status effects

See Β§ Food

Suspicious stew is a food item that can give the player a status effect that depends on the flower used to craft it.

Obtaining

In Bedrock Edition, suspicious stew is the only food item in the game that can’t be obtained from the Creative inventory only by searching. However, it can be crafted and can also be found in shipwreck chests. Suspicious stew can be given with commands like /give, but in Java Edition, unless NBT data like that listed in the data values section is included, consuming it has no effect and still restores the same hunger points as a normal suspicious stew. In Bedrock Edition, giving the player a suspicious stew through commands causes the stew to choose an allowable status effect at random.

Harvesting

Suspicious stew can be obtained by β€œmilking” a brown mooshroom by using an empty bowl on it after using a small flower on it. The flower type determines the stew's effect using the same rule as a crafted stew. After being milked once, the brown mooshroom returns to producing mushroom stew until fed another small flower. Red mooshrooms do not produce suspicious stew.

The trading interface does not indicate the type of suspicious stew being sold, but each trade entry consistently yields the same type of stew, so the player can remember or make a note of the types offered by a given villager, such as "this first villager's stew gives blindness, and this second villager's stew gives saturation".

Usage

Food

To eat suspicious stew, press and hold use while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores 6 (πŸ—πŸ—πŸ—) hunger and 7.2 hunger saturation and gives a few seconds of a status effect that varies depending on which flower was used to craft it. The effect is not displayed in the tooltip, texture, etc., unless the tooltip is viewed from the Creative inventory (including saved hotbars), meaning that the player cannot know in advance what the effect is without knowing which flower was used.

Flower Effect Duration
Allium Fire Resistance 3s
Azure Bluet
Open Eyeblossom
Blindness 11sβ€Œ
7sβ€Œ
Blue Orchid
Dandelion
Saturation 0.35sβ€Œ
0.3sβ€Œ
Closed Eyeblossom Nausea 7s
Cornflower Jump Boost 5s
Lily of the Valley Poison 11s
Oxeye Daisy Regeneration 7s
Poppy
Torchflower
Night Vision 5s
Tulips Weakness 7s
Wither Rose Wither 7s

The bowl is emptied and returned to the player after the suspicious stew has been eaten, and can be re-used to craft more stews. Unlike most foods, suspicious stew can be eaten even if the player's hunger bar is full.

The Saturation effect effectively makes the blue orchid and dandelion stews a superfood: In those 7β€Œ or 6β€Œ ticks it can restore up to 7β€Œ or 6β€Œ hunger and 14β€Œ or 12β€Œ saturation points on top of their food value, for a total of at least 13 (πŸ— Γ— 6.5) hunger, and effectively maximizing saturation. This is the largest amount of hunger and saturation the player can get from a single food item. Regeneration can restore up to 2HPβ™₯ health, while Poison can inflict up to 8HPβ™₯β™₯β™₯β™₯ damage and Wither up to 3HPβ™₯β™₯ damage.

Consuming suspicious stew is the only way to obtain the Saturation and Blindness effects in vanilla Minecraft without the use of commands.
