Description
Cake is an edible decorative block that players craft to restore hunger points and to celebrate events in the game. It looks like a layered dessert with icing on top and can be placed on a flat surface for players to slice and eat. A placed cake can be used by multiple players and it serves as a shared food source in multiplayer sessions making it popular for parties gatherings and communal bases. Crafting a cake requires several food and crafting ingredients which encourages players to explore farms and to gather a variety of resources. Once crafted a cake can be placed as a decorative piece and then the slices can be eaten over time which makes it a unique consumable item compared to simple food items. Because of its decorative nature many players use cake as a visual prop for special days in their world and it is often used in event areas and in shops where players trade food items. The block does not stack and cannot be placed in a player inventory when it is already sliced which adds an element of planning to how you use and share it in multiplayer.
