Jeb recently tweeted this image, which appears to be pork, beef and lamb in the player inventory. It would seem that Steve is becoming quite the chef! We'll post more information as it becomes available!
Finally, a reason to slaughter those innocent sheep and cows and not just for wool and fairly redundant leather (once you get iron or better). :Flint and Steel:
Oh, and nice, I can finally do without food stacking mods, though I might use mine if need be. I actually like how the one I use prevents you from eating food when it's stacked.
- The stacked food will surely unbalance the game for what I can see right now. Even if the stacking only stays for the raw food, it will be unbalancing. 1 cooked pork will heal 4, but a stack of 4 raw pork will heal 6. You can carry only raw stuff, and it will heal more that way, meaning cooking your pork might get useless. I therefore hope it was stacked because it was cheated into the game for the sake of the picture.
-/+ More diffrent food seem kind of useless to me. We already have the pork, and if you get food from every animal, it will, though it's logic to let them all drop, unbalance the game, as it's A LOT easier to obtain food now early in the game. It also makes pigs useless, as all other mobs already give you food + other items. I hope they make certain actions to keep this balanced.
If you didn't notice yet, look at the GUI's. There are 2 other status bars, one long, and one with a chuck of meat as symbol.
+ I take it that the food chuck statusbar is symbolising hunger. This adds a great new deal of survival, neat for both SSP and SMP (though I can understand some will dislike (I highly doubt there will be no SMP mods that remove it after 1.8). SSP will become more challenging and in SMP more teamwork will be required.
-/+ The other bar looks like an experience bar, meaning that there will come something like leveling up. In my own opinion, I don't think you should get stronger by leveling up, or let it affect the game in some way. I am unsure what to think about this one, but we'll see how this turns out.
Don't forget that these are opinions and guesses based ON WHAT INFO WE GOT SO FAR. I can't know how it will turn out in the game itself. We'll see.
Another thing, I noticed that there is a stack of 4 raw meat. and a stack of 1 raw meat. This means that the max stack is 4 because this shows that after the 4 stack it goes to a next stack. and the white meat only stacks 1 or he could be tricking us!
I don't find the stacked food a very good idea. When people are playing pvp, it's incredibly annoying if the other player is safing with fast food (rapid fire eating). It would be nice if you had to un-stack the food before you could eat it. Anyways, can't wait for 1.8
