Emerald Feast Bread

Quickstart

1. Pick up regular bread to unlock the recipe.
2. Craft Emerald Feast Bread with eight emeralds and one bread using the recipe below.
3. Hold the bread in either hand to attract nearby villagers. Toss one near villagers if you want them to pick it up as food, or eat it yourself with the use-item control.

Overview

Emerald Feast Bread is a highly filling food that also helps villagers prepare to breed and gives you a way to lead them by hand.

What It Adds

• Emerald Feast Bread: A stackable food item, up to 64 per stack. It provides 20 nutrition and has a 2.0 saturation modifier.
• Villager interactions: Villagers can pick up the bread as food, and will follow a player holding it when conditions allow.

How To Use

• Eat it: Use the bread like other food. It restores hunger, subject to the usual limits on eating.
• Lead villagers: Hold it in your main or off hand. Villagers within about 12 blocks can follow; they stop when you put it away or move out of range. Trading or sleeping villagers won’t follow.
• Feed villagers: Toss the bread near villagers so they can pick it up. They consume it over time as breeding food; it does not create a baby immediately.

Crafting And Obtaining

The recipe unlocks when you pick up bread. Arrange eight emeralds around one bread in a crafting grid:

You can also find Emerald Feast Bread in the Creative inventory’s Food & Drinks tab.

Abilities And Mechanics

Each feast counts as 200 villager food points, equivalent to the food value of 50 regular breads. Villagers accept it as breeding food and can store it in their inventory before consuming it.

Progression And Strategy

Carry a few loaves when moving villagers: hold one to draw nearby villagers along, then toss food near them when you want them to build up breeding readiness. Villagers still need to meet the normal conditions for breeding.
