If you have two hotbar slots containing the same food source, if you start to eat out of one hotbar slot and, while you are eating the first piece of food, switch to the other hotbar slot containing that type of food, eating the food will continue as normal, but will consume food from both slots with no extra progress on the hunger bar. Also, if you open your inventory immediately after eating that piece of food and attempt to move one of the sets of food into the other, one of the sets of food will disappear. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
