How to Craft Suspicious Stew in Minecraft

Suspicious Stew in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own item texture. Restores 6 hunger points. The recipe first appears in the game's files in Minecraft 1.14.

Stand at a Crafting Table with 1 Red Mushroom, 1 Brown Mushroom, 1 Bowl, and 1 Flower and you can make a Suspicious Stew. That comes out as 1 Suspicious Stew. On the food bar that is 6 hunger and 7.2 saturation.

Suspicious Stew Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Suspicious Stew is minecraft:suspicious_stew. In commands the namespace may be left off, so suspicious_stew works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p suspicious_stew
Give several at once
/give @p suspicious_stew 5
Give it to a named player
/give Steve suspicious_stew 1

Cheats have to be on for Suspicious Stew to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Overview

Suspicious Stew restores 6 hunger points and applies a status effect that depends on the flower ingredient. Suspicious Stew uses a shapeless recipe, so the ingredients can go in any cells of the grid as long as all of them are present.

This recipe first appears in the game's own data files in Minecraft 1.14, and not in the release before it.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with red mushroom (found in dark areas), brown mushroom (found in dark areas), bowl (craft from planks), and flower (pick flowers).

Per Stack

Empty a stack of 64 bowls into this and 64 suspicious stews come back. Have 64 brown mushroom ready as well. Craft 64 takes the last bowl, with nothing spare.
