I was wondering how much food I needed to bring down in my mine. So I grabbed a notebook, pencil and of course http://www.minecraftwiki.net. I'm using branch mining, like the one below.
where [ ] is a block.
As you can see - hopefully - each branch is 20 blocks deep with 3 blocks separating them. My mine is 2 blocks high, and the following calculations are based on those numbers.
According to Minecraftwiki.net, you have a total of 20 food points. Each time you perform an action Minecraft will add a value to the foodExhaustionLevel. If this level exceeds 4.0, you will loose 1 food point.
Values:
Walking and sneaking per block: 0.01
Breaking a block : 0.025
FoodExhaustion per branch (4 blocks in, 20 blocks to both sides):
Walking:
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 =84 blocks walked. (you have to walk in and out on each sides)
84 x 0.01 =0.8
Breaking blocks: (4 + 20 + 20) x 2 =184 blocks broken (Assuming your mine is 2 blocks high).
184 x 0.025 = 4.6
Sum foodExhaustion per branch:
0.8 + 4.6 = 5.4
HAHAHAHAH, easy peasy, anyways, you are a showoff
This means you will lose 1.35 food points per branch.
Ergo one bread will be enough for 4.44 branches (one bread restores 6 points).
In example 20 branches will give a total foodExhaustion of 108, which is equal to 27 food points. One bread restores 6 food points, so you would have had to eat about 5 breads (4.5) to keep your food bar at max.
Hope this was helpful for someone. And it's my first post. ever. at a forum. so be nice
