Gloomglue Stew

Quickstart

1. Open a Crafting Table and craft Gloomglue Stew using the recipe below.
2. Hold the stew in your main hand.
3. Eat it (hold the use/interact button) — or throw it like a splash potion (tap use/interact quickly without holding) to hurl it at a nearby entity.
4. Whoever is hit — including yourself if you eat it — will immediately suffer three debuffs (see Abilities and Mechanics).

Overview

Gloomglue Stew is an uncommon, enchantment-glinting food item for Bedrock Edition (Minecraft 1.21.93). Its blue, sticky appearance hints at its unpleasant nature: eating it or landing a throw on an entity curses them with Mining Fatigue, Slowness, and Darkness all at once. It is a single-use item (stack size of 1) with a demanding crafting recipe that makes it a deliberate, strategic choice rather than an accidental hazard.

How To Use

Eating

Hold the use/interact button while the stew is in your main hand. After the eat animation completes (about 1.6 seconds, during which your movement is noticeably slowed), the effects apply to you.

⚠️ The item requires you to actually be hungry enough to eat — it cannot be eaten when your hunger bar is full.

Throwing

Tap the use/interact button briefly instead of holding it. The stew launches as a projectile in the direction you are looking. Any entity it hits receives the full set of debuffs. One stew is consumed per throw.

Abilities And Mechanics

When the stew takes effect — whether by eating or a successful hit — the target receives all three of the following debuffs simultaneously:

Effects are accompanied by visible particles on the target. Entities that cannot receive status effects (such as armor stands) are unaffected by a throw.

Crafting And Obtaining

Gloomglue Stew is crafted at a Crafting Table. The recipe is shaped and requires several brewing/nether materials:

• Spider Eye
• Fermented Spider Eye
• Ink Sac (×2)
• Bowl
• Magma Cream

The stew yields 1 per craft and cannot be stacked, so plan your ingredients accordingly before heading into a situation where you need it.

Progression And Strategy

• PvP / mob control: Throwing the stew at a hostile mob or player cripples their mining ability and movement for a meaningful window, buying you time to escape or press an advantage.
• Self-use risk: Eating the stew provides modest food restoration (6 nutrition) but saddled with severe debuffs — only do this if no other food is available and you are not in danger.
• Resource cost: The fermented spider eye and magma cream make this a mid-to-late game crafted item. Stockpile ingredients before you need it.
• Because the stew cannot stack, carrying multiples means dedicating multiple inventory slots — choose when to bring more than one carefully.
