What does saturation do in minecraft
What does saturation do in Minecraft? I know some foods have, like, 5 saturation or 12 saturation, but what does saturation mean? Is it how fast the hunger bar stays full, or is it like a hidden mechanic?
Best Answer
Saturation is an effect that you can only get with commands, not in vanilla survival Minecraft, except with cheats.
This effect doesn't let the hunger bar change. So.. if you obtain Saturation on survival with cheats (/effect) command, food will be practically useless for you.

Saturation cannot exceed the value of the hunger bar, so with a full hunger bar of 20 points, it's possible to have up to 20 points of saturation. However, a hunger level of 6 points also only provides a maximum of 6 points of saturation, and that makes you vulnerable.What is saturation boost in Minecraft?

Saturation is a hidden mechanic, like you said, but also works similar to the hunger bar. When you eat something, your saturation goes up. But it goes down similar to the hunger bar. Different foods have different saturation, and if I am not mistaken, it cannot be added to itself. As far as I know, the Golden Carrot gives the most saturation, allowing you to sprint jump for a long time without having to eat again.
The saturation bar acts the same way as the hunger bar. It goes down at the same speed your hunger does. So doing stuff like sprint jumping or mining for extended periods of time will deplete the saturation bar. When the bar reaches 0, your hunger will go down normally. As far as I know, there is no way to see your saturation bar or make the game show you how much saturation you have left.
