Minecraft 1.18 Caves & Cliffs update brought a ton of big changes to the game. It completely changed how the worlds generate and just how far players can actually go. While the update was massive, much of the game remains the same. The gameplay is fundamentally unchanged, and the core aspects of Minecraft are still the same.Mobs still drop loot. The End is still the end of the game. The Nether still spawns when players make a portal with obsidian. Minecraft players still need to eat food when hungry, and some foods are better than others for that.Best food sources after Minecraft 1.18 Caves & Cliffs update5) Baked potatoBaked potatoes are one of the best food sources in Minecraft. Potatoes are easy to farm and can drop up to four, if it's a fully grown plant. They do require coal or another fuel source, but when they're baked they restore three hunger points and have six points of saturation.Potatoes can be baked into a great food source (Image via Minecraft)4) Beetroot soupBeetroot soup costs more to make than baked potatoes but it is a slightly better food source.
