A '''hot potato''' is an item which damages players who hold it in 24w14potato.

== Obtaining ==
Throwing a [[Minecraft:potato]], poisonous potato, or a baked potato into [[Minecraft:lava]] turns it into a hot potato, which is then ejected from lava in a random direction{{more info}}. The hot potato retains data from the original potato, such as its custom name, or how many times it has been lubricated.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|A1 = Baked Potato
|B1 = Lava Bucket
|Output = Hot potato
|ignoreusage=1
}}

== Usage ==
=== Damage ===
Each hot potato stores a heat value. This value starts from 0 and goes up by 1 every tick it is in a player's inventory to a maximum of 200. Once the heat value reaches 20 and the potato is in a player's inventory, the player begins taking damage. Based on the heat value, a player takes between {{hp|1}} and {{hp|5}} damage each tick. However, due to damage immunity, the player only actually takes damage every {{convert|10|ticks|seconds}}.

Fire Resistance does not prevent the player from taking damage from happening. If there are multiple hot potatoes in a player's inventory, the effect is the same as if there was only one. Hot potatoes do not damage other entities if they hold the item.

=== Food ===
Eating a hot potato restores {{hunger|5}} hunger. When a hot potato is consumed, the player is set on fire for {{convert|1000000|tick|s}}. This value exceeds the range of the short integer type, so only the last 16 bits modulo 32768 will be saved to the player's {{nbt|short|Fire}} data.

Unlike most foods, hot potatoes can be eaten even if the hunger bar is full.

=== Burning immunity ===
