Diversified nutrition (make food useful)

Most players agrees that one of Minecraft problems is that it has sooo many food products, but no real use of them.

You can build chicken farm and eat only chicken (wheat, potatoes - select one you like). You don`t need other food really.

I suggest to implement positive effect for eating various food during the day. This effect will make your hunger bar decrease 1.5 times slower then normal (you can suggest your ideas in comments). It works like this: during the day you eat specific food combinations, effect appears and lasts one game day.

To activate this effect you need to eat during the day such food combinations:

 

Three different cooked meat (Porkchop + Steak + Mutton, or Steak + Chicken + Rabbit , etc.)

OR

Four types of vegetarian food (Beets + Carrots + Bread + Potatoes, etc.)

OR

Two types of meat AND two types of vegetables, including bread (Porkchop + Steak + Carrots + Bread, or Mutton + Chicken + Potatoes + Beets, etc.)

OR

One type of meat AND one type of seafood AND one type of vegetable (cooked Salmon + Steak + Sweet berries, or Rabbit + Dried kelp + bread, etc.)

 

As you noticed, I suggest three groups of food: meat, seafood, vegetables.

This suggestion. if implemented, can motivate player to seek, farm and eat new food products.

And new food could be added in future.

  Cool bro!

  Nice idea on grouping the food types.

  Food effects and the combination of those effects would motivate players to eat others stuff not like ONLY GOLDEN CARROTS (eat you salad kids), but also to motivate even more, would be interesting to make a specific type of food less effective if is the only thing the players has been eating for a while.

  The honey (introduced in snapshot 19w34a) fills a player saturation, a step on the right direction.

  Cake, a non stackable food should also give a really good effect to motivate.

  Regarding the effects during a MC day, not feeling that. How about the introduction of a threshold, the same way when you only have 3 food icons left you cant sprint any more. If not a player could keep jumping to eat lots of food to stack on effects. I don't know really, kinda lost my train of though in this last one. But regardless hope to see this idea on the game.

  I think the basic premise of diversified nutrition is great, but I think the way it should work is, if you eat too much of one type of food, it begins to have less effect on your hunger. e.g. If all you eat is steak, eventually it will only restore half a shank. To counteract this, you'd have to eat a variety of food. 

  Say, five different variants of food before steak starts to work properly again
