Truffles, giving pigs a use

Pigs are commonly thought of as one of the more useless farm animals. They don’t have a useful drop and have no other reasons to farm them.

Yet breeding them is locked behind potatoes and carrots, which are undoubtedly harder to get than wheat or seeds.

So every now and then, a pig will attempt to dig something up from a grass block, converting it to dirt. It could be a dud (nothing) or any root vegetable or truffle. The pig will quickly eat the dropped item unless the player is there to pick it up. This allows other vegetables to be accessible beyond finding them as loot or as rare drops.

What do truffles do? You can eat them however they offer only 1 hunger and saturation. They give you a new effect called ‘Seasoned’ for 5 seconds. This effect allows you to eat food twice as fast.

You can brew it into a potion of the same effect for longer duration.

You can also use it to temporarily pacify Piglins, Piglin brutes and hoglins for 5 seconds by right clicking.
