Dried Kelp
minecraft:dried_kelpDried Kelp is a food item obtained by smelting raw kelp in a furnace, smoker, or campfire, or by crafting it from a dried kelp block. It restores only a small amount of hunger and saturation, but it can be eaten roughly twice as fast as any other food, making it useful for quick top-ups during combat or long treks.
FAQ
How do you make Dried Kelp?
Smelt raw kelp in a furnace, smoker, or campfire, or break down a dried kelp block to get 9 pieces of dried kelp at once.
Why would I eat Dried Kelp instead of other food?
It can be eaten about twice as fast as any other food item, letting you restore hunger quickly without pausing your movement for long.
Is Dried Kelp renewable?
Yes. Kelp grows naturally underwater and regrows after harvesting, so a simple kelp farm provides an endless supply to smelt into dried kelp.
Does Dried Kelp have any other uses?
It has a chance to raise the level of a composter and is required for the Castaway achievement, which involves eating only dried kelp for three days.
