Minecraft:Cake

Template:Infobox block A cake is a Minecraft:block that can serve as Minecraft:food. It can be eaten by placing and Template:Control it, with each use consuming one of its seven slices. The entire cake gives the most hunger points out of every food item, but has low saturation.

A cake with candle is an uneaten cake with any type of Minecraft:candle placed on it, which can be lit with a Minecraft:flint and steel to emit Minecraft:light.

Obtaining

Breaking

Once the cake is placed, it cannot be recollected even with the use of Minecraft:Silk Touch, meaning placing it is final. Cakes with Minecraft:candles always drop their respective candle when broken. Template:Breaking row

Usage

File:Eating Cake Demo.png

Sunny and Minecraft:Alex eating a cake together.

Unlike most Minecraft:food, the cake cannot be eaten as an Minecraft:item in the hotbar. Before being eaten, it must first be placed on top of a solid Minecraft:block. Placing the cake on a Minecraft:slab also works, with the slab acting as a solid block. The cake may float half a block above the slab depending on how it is placed.

Each cake is sized 0.875 blocks long and wide, 0.5 blocks tall, and has seven "slices"; each use consumes one slice progressing inward from the west, reducing 0.125 blocks of its hitbox. A single slice restores Template:Hunger hunger and 0.4 hunger saturation. Eating all seven slices of a cake restores Template:Hunger hunger and 2.8 hunger saturation.

Since eating a cake comes with no animation, the cake can be eaten at a rate of one slice per Minecraft:tick. Multiple Minecraft:players can eat from the same cake at the same time. Template:IN, eating cake makes no Minecraft:sound, unlike other foods.

As a Minecraft:redstone component, when connected to a Minecraft:comparator, a whole cake emits a signal strength of 14. The signal strength decreases two units with each slice.

Cake destroys falling blocks if placed under them, similar to a Minecraft:torch. A player who is Minecraft:sneaking can place any block (including a cake or a falling block) on top of a cake without the block breaking.

Pandas

Some Minecraft:pandas move toward a dropped cake to pick up and eat it. Some may not, depending on the cake's location. Cake cannot be used to breed pandas.

Composting

Placing a cake into a Minecraft:composter raises the compost level by 1.

Piston interactivity

A cake is broken when pushed by a Minecraft:piston, and it drops nothing.

Cakes with candles

File:Cake with Candle.png

A cake with candle created by placing a candle on an uneaten cake.

Template:Control a Minecraft:candle on an uneaten cake creates a cake with candleTemplate:Fn of that color (including uncolored). Eating any of the cake causes the candle to break off and drop.

Template:Control Minecraft:flint and steel, Minecraft:fire charge, or any flaming projectile on an unlit cake with candle lights its candle. Lit cakes with candles emit a Minecraft:light level of 3 and point lighting of Template:Color when the "Render Dragon Features for Creators" Minecraft:experiment is enabled in Minecraft:Minecraft Preview. Template:Control with the lit candle (but not the cake) extinguishes it.

Lit candled cakes emit the same point lighting as Minecraft:candles.

History

Trivia

Interaction

• Because cake is only Template:Frac blocks wide, it is possible to stand on the edge of a Minecraft:block beneath a cake. This makes it possible to create a functioning staircase using cakes placed on a ramp of 1×1 blocks.
• It is possible to place cake on top of another cake by placing a cake on the ground, then placing another cake on the side of a block above and to the side of the first cake, similar to placing Minecraft:torches on a Minecraft:chest. Eating the lower cake causes the upper cake to disappear, as does mining out the block of cake it is sitting on.
• Minecraft:Mobs on top of cakes rotate while attempting to move, a pathfinding oversight shared with Minecraft:fences.
• If cake is placed in a hole one block deep, players can get across the hole without jumping, although a player standing on the cake must jump to get out of the hole.

Miscellaneous

The 2010 Indie of the Year Awards logo.

• Cake was added to Minecraft:Minecraft following the ModDB Minecraft:2010 Indie of the Year Awards. Minecraft:Notch agreed to add cake to Minecraft if it won, which led to a campaign called "The Quest For Cake". Minecraft won 3 of the 7 awards, including the "Indie of the Year" award.
• The player can place cake on top of a Minecraft:bed, and while Minecraft:sleeping, the cake shows on the player's screen as if it were on top of their head.
• The name of the achievement for crafting a cake is a reference to the internet meme "The Cake is a Lie", which originated from Valve Software's game, Portal.
• On May 17, 2019, for the 10th anniversary of Minecraft, the cake Minecraft:model was changed to display a "10" above it, made of Minecraft:white concrete.
• Unlike most foods, cakes don't count towards the advancement "Minecraft:A Balanced Diet" Template:In.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
