Rotten Flesh - Item Test Page

What is Rotten Flesh in Minecraft?

Rotten flesh is a very common food item in Minecraft that is dropped by zombies and other undead monsters. It is famous for being a risky meal. If you eat it, you have a high chance of getting the Hunger status effect, which makes your food bar drain quickly. Because of this, it is usually considered an emergency food source, something you only eat when you have nothing else. However, rotten flesh has some very important uses that make it quite valuable, especially for trading with villagers and for feeding your pet wolves, who can eat it without any bad effects. It is a surprisingly useful item for something that seems so gross.

How to get Rotten Flesh in Minecraft

You will find yourself with a lot of rotten flesh just by playing the game. The main way to get it is as a drop from undead mobs. Zombies, zombie villagers, husks, drowns, and zombified piglins all drop rotten flesh when they are defeated. This means that every night you spend fighting monsters, you will likely end up with a good amount. You can also get rotten flesh as a junk item while fishing, or find it in chests in various structures like dungeons, desert temples, jungle temples, and shipwrecks. If you build a mob farm that collects drops from zombies, you can get a huge amount of rotten flesh very quickly.

How to use Rotten Flesh in Minecraft

While you can eat rotten flesh, it is not recommended unless you have a bucket of milk handy to cure the likely Hunger effect. The best use for rotten flesh is trading. Novice level cleric villagers will buy 32 rotten flesh for one emerald. This is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to get emeralds in the entire game. The other fantastic use for rotten flesh is as food for your pet wolves. Wolves can eat it without any negative side effects, making it a perfect, free food source to heal them after a fight or to breed them. It is a much better idea to give your rotten flesh to your dogs or a cleric than to eat it yourself.

My Story

How This All Started

So basically, I was playing Minecraft one night after a long day doing deliveries, and I was trying to remember what drops what and how to craft certain things. Every website I went to was either dead slow, missing loads of stuff, or just looked terrible. I thought "bloody hell, surely I can do better than this?"

By the way, this My Story section is something new I've only just started adding things here! Most of the site was actually built before I ever wrote this part. Now that the website is live, I'm running into problems galore! So if things look a bit rough or unfinished, bear with me I'm updating and adding as I go.

That was probably a mistake.

A half finished story, oh well. I'll keep adding more as I go!

Learning the Hard Way

I knew absolutely nothing about making websites. Like, properly nothing. I didn't even know what PHP was. But I'm stubborn as anything, so I just started watching YouTube tutorials and reading random stuff online while I was on my breaks.

Turns out building a database is harder than it looks. Who knew? I've probably broken this thing more times than I've fixed it. My laptop has definitely been sworn at more than it deserves.

The worst part is when you spend hours trying to figure out why something doesn't work, and it turns out you missed a semicolon. Or when everything works fine on your computer but looks like complete rubbish on someone else's. Fun times.

The Reality of It

Look, I'm not gonna lie this has been a right pain sometimes. I work full time doing deliveries, so most of this gets done late at night when I should probably be sleeping. I've had way too many energy drinks and definitely not enough sleep.

The database has corrupted itself more times than I care to remember. I've had images that wouldn't load for no reason. CSS that worked yesterday but decided to have a tantrum today. The usual web development nightmare stuff.

But every time I get something working properly, it feels brilliant. Like when I finally got all the block images showing up correctly, or when the search actually started finding things. Small wins, but they keep me going.

What I Actually Want to Build

Here's the thing I want this to be your go to place for everything Minecraft. Not just blocks and items, but proper guides, build tutorials, maybe even schematics you can download. Server info, community stuff, the lot.

I know it doesn't look like much right now, and there's loads missing. But I'm working on it. It takes time when you're learning as you go and doing it around a full time job. But I'd rather take my time and do it properly than rush it and end up with something rubbish.

The plan is to make it the kind of site I actually want to use fast, easy to navigate, with everything you need in one place. No endless ads, no broken links, just useful stuff presented in a way that doesn't make you want to throw your computer out the window.

Why I Keep Going

Honestly? Because every time someone uses this site or gives me feedback, it reminds me why I started. I love Minecraft, I love building things (both in game and apparently websites), and I love the community.

Plus, I've learned loads doing this. Sure, I've wanted to give up more times than I can count, but seeing it slowly come together is pretty satisfying. And if it helps other people find what they're looking for without having to trawl through ten different outdated websites, then that's worth it.

So yeah, bear with me while I figure this all out. It's going to take a while, but it'll get there eventually. Thanks for checking it out, and if you spot anything broken or have suggestions, let me know. I'm still learning, but I'm determined to make this work.
