Raw Beef Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft raw beef with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, raw beef is a food item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

Let’s explore how to add raw beef to your inventory.

Where to find Raw Beef in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find raw beef in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform	Version(s)	Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.8 – 1.19	Foodstuffs
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.19.3	Food & Drinks

• Platform is the platform that applies.
• Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).
• Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

How to get Raw Beef in Survival Mode

You can add raw beef to your inventory in Minecraft by killing a cow. So let’s get started!

1. Find a Cow

You first need to find a cow. Cows are very easy to find and can be found in most Overworld biomes on land.

2. Attack and Kill the Cow

Once you find a cow, you need to attack it. When you attack the cow, it will turn pink as it takes damage.

Continue to chase and attack the cow. Once you have killed the cow, it will drop raw beef, and (if you are lucky) leather.

3. Pick up the Raw Beef

Make sure you pick up the raw beef and leather before it disappears.

These are both useful items and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
