About Dried Kelp

Dried Kelp is a food item that you can eat quickly, but it only restores a small amount of hunger. It works well as a snack when you need a tiny boost without carrying heavy food.

Key facts:

  • Can be eaten much faster than most other foods.
  • Nine dried kelp craft one dried kelp block.
  • Works as furnace fuel, though it is not especially efficient on its own.
  • The block form is a much better fuel and is handy for storage.

How to get Dried Kelp

You get dried kelp by smelting kelp in a furnace, smoker, or campfire. Kelp grows underwater in ocean biomes, especially in kelp forests. Just harvest the kelp plants, then smelt each piece into dried kelp. You will need some fuel for the smelting, but the result is a useful early food option and a stepping stone to dried kelp blocks.
