Overview
As food, Cooked Mutton is judged on two numbers: hunger restored and saturation. It gives back 6 hunger and 9.6 saturation. That saturation ratio puts it among the more efficient foods in the game.
Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot. Put Raw Mutton in a furnace and this is what comes out. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
Properties
Eating it restores 6 hunger and 9.6 saturation — a ratio of 1.6, which is what decides how long you stay full rather than how fast the bar refills. One inventory slot holds 64, so a double chest holds 3,456.
