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. 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 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.
Burning immunity
Hot potato can't be burned in fire or lava, like netherite items.
Hot potato item jumps in lava.
