Poison to Potato | Turn Poisonous Potatoes into Real Food

Go to files

Is poisonous potato stacking up in your chests? Poison to Potato gives it a purpose: put a poisonous potato into a regular furnace or a smoker with fuel and get a baked potato that restores real hunger, like any other vanilla food.

From the potato farm to the table

Every potato farm in Minecraft produces the occasional poisonous potato, and the game treats it as a dead end: a weak food item with a chance of poisoning you. This add-on adds one recipe that turns poisonous potatoes into ordinary baked potatoes, so the whole harvest is worth keeping instead of throwing part of it away.

The recipe is available in a regular furnace and in a smoker, and the smoker finishes food faster exactly like vanilla. Blast furnaces do not cook food, and campfire cooking is not supported in this release.

Why this recipe matters

A vanilla baked potato restores five hunger points, while a poisonous potato restores two and can poison you. The recipe therefore turns an item you usually try to get rid of into an item you actually eat, which matters most early in a world and on large farms that produce poisonous potatoes in bulk.

The recipe is additive: it does not replace any vanilla recipe, change loot tables, or touch drop rates. The output is the ordinary vanilla baked potato, so it works in every recipe and farm design that already uses baked potatoes.

Download and installation

Download the Poison to Potato BP pack, then follow these steps:

Make a backup of your world.
Open the .mcpack file with Minecraft and wait for the import to finish.
Open your world's settings.
Enable Poison to Potato BP under Behavior Packs.
Enter the world and place poisonous potatoes with coal or another fuel into a regular furnace or a smoker.
Save and reopen the world, and confirm the recipe appears before relying on it in your main survival world.

There is no Resource Pack to import or activate, and cheats and experimental toggles can stay off.

Compatibility and limitations

The add-on is intended for Minecraft Bedrock 1.26 or later and does not support Java Edition. If another add-on assigns a cooking recipe to the poisonous potato, the two may conflict depending on pack order and how the game resolves duplicate recipes, so test combinations in a disposable world first.
