How to Craft Suspicious Stew in Minecraft

Suspicious Stew restores 6 hunger points and applies a status effect that depends on the flower ingredient.

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. A Crafting Table gives you the full 3x3 grid, which you need for any recipe larger than 2x2. You can craft one from four planks, and most bases keep one near the furnaces.

The recipe was added in Minecraft 1.14 and still works the same way in version 1.21. Each craft yields a single Suspicious Stew.

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). If any of those are not already in your stores, gather them first, because the craft itself takes only a moment once everything is in the grid. With the ingredients on hand and a Crafting Table placed, Suspicious Stew is one of the quicker things to add to your inventory.
