A poisonous potato is a type of potato that can poison the player when eaten.

Obtaining

{ "item": "Poisonous Potato", "stacksize": "2–6", "chance": 0.42061090139687074, "structure": "Shipwreck", "container": "Supply chest" }

Farming

The poisonous potato is a rare drop when harvesting (destroying) potato crops; a fully grown plant has a 2% chance of dropping one in addition to the 2–5 regular potatoes.

Usage

Poisonous potatoes cannot be planted on farmland or baked. They also have no use with the composter.[1]

Food

To eat a poisonous potato, press and hold use while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores 2 (🍗) hunger and 1.2 hunger saturation and has a 60% chance of applying 5 seconds of Poison I, draining 4HP❤️❤️ points of health. A poisonous potato restores twice as much hunger and saturation as a normal potato.

Trivia

  • Poisonous potatoes not having a purpose is intentional, and is one of Minecraft's design rules.[2]
