Obtaining

Throwing a Minecraft:potato, Minecraft:poisonous potato, or a Minecraft:baked potato into Minecraft:lava turns it into a hot potato, which is then ejected from lava in a random directionTemplate:More info. The hot potato retains data from the original potato, such as its custom name, or how many times it has been Minecraft:lubricated.

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 Template:Hp and Template:Hp damage each tick. However, due to Minecraft:damage immunity, the player only actually takes damage every Template:Convert.

Minecraft: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 Template:Hunger hunger and 6 Minecraft:saturation. When a hot potato is consumed, the player is set on fire for Template:Convert. This value exceeds the range of the short integer type, so only the last 16 bits modulo 2¹⁵ (32768) will be saved to the player's Template:Nbt data.

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