# Raw Bacon

**Raw bacon** is a [food](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Food) [item](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Item) that can be eaten by the [player](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Player) or cooked in a [furnace](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Furnace), [smoker](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Smoker), or [campfire](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Campfire) to make [cooked bacon](@better_mcdonalds_mod:cooked_bacon).

## Obtaining

### Mob loot

When adult [pigs](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Pig) are killed, they drop 1-2 raw bacon. If killed while on fire, they drop [cooked bacon](@better_mcdonalds_mod:cooked_bacon) instead.
