How does Food work in Minecraft?

Question

The Minecraft Beta 1.8 Pre-Release has just come out, and I've been trying it out.

One of the bigger changes I noticed, is that food only recovers your hunger bar, not your health bar. And if the hunger bar is full, you recover health slowly.

Does this mean that we cannot directly recover health in Minecraft Beta 1.8?

I'm afraid, when we are fighting hostile mobs, I will die more easily because I cannot directly recover health from food!

Answer

Yes, food now only replenishes your hunger bar, and if the hunger bar is high enough, you will regenerate health at a fixed rate (~1/2 hp/5 sec at 90-100% sated). However, food now also stacks to 64, so it should be plenty easy to carry around enough for quite a while.

If you don't want to die while fighting hostile mobs, don't be so reckless; wear armor and/or take them out at range with a bow.
