Hunger is a status effect which causes hunger and saturation to deplete faster than normal.

Hunger increases food exhaustion by 0.005 × level per game tick (removes 1 (👁 🍖
) saturation point every (40 ÷ level) seconds). It also turns the hunger bar a yellow-green color (👁 🍗
). Negative levels decrease food exhaustion, although they do not increase saturation or the hunger bar.

The status effect does not decrease hunger level on Peaceful, although it does re-color the hunger bar.

Hunger inflicted by eating rotten flesh, raw chicken or by being attacked by a husk adds 3.0 to the player's exhaustion level over the course of 30 seconds, draining ³⁄₄ of a saturation point. When a pufferfish is eaten, 4.5 exhaustion points are added over the course of 15 seconds, draining 1 (👁 🍖
) and ¹⁄₈ (0.125) saturation points.

• Withers and Ender Dragons are immune to hunger.
• All mobs are unaffected by Hunger as they do not have saturation.
