RE: Hunger Mechanics Suck
I like Gecko's take on the situation myself.
But what most people are thinking, "I normally don't have pork or anything in the real game".
After playing 1.8 for the past two days I have figured out a few things.
1. Animals spawn in herds.
Finding a pig will most likely mean that there are quite a few close by.
Same goes with Cows, and Chickens. All a source of food.
2. If all possible take refuge in a NPC Village.
They have pre-built homes, and a farm with wheat already planted in it. Perfect place to start a base.
3. Going mining, Look for Melon seeds.
When you hit a Abandoned mine, you will find chest scattered throughout it. If you are lucky you will find a melon seed, treasure it and do as follows.
A = Water
B = Farmland (Ho'ed land)
C = Melon Seed on Farmland (Ho'ed land)
ABC
Or
ACB
Doing that you will have two rows of Farmland, hopefully fertile with the water. When you plant the seed it will grow into a full sprout and most likely set there . Once the melon is grown, the melon will pop onto the Farmland next to where you planted the seed, that is now a full grown sprout, and you can harvest it. Once you harvest it you Full grown Sprout will stay and you will get a few melon Slices. Re-Hoe the land next to the sprout.
Take the Melon slices and put them in a Crafting table slot, and you will get seeds for every melon Slice. Rinse and Repeat.
Easy way to get food, as me and Spam have found out and Now have many,many stacks of Melon slices. Do this, and carry around a stack of melon slices, you will basically always have full health.
Downside is that you may get Poisoned by Melon slices sometimes, i have eaten over a stack of them and have yet to get poisoned.
