Cannibal camps spawn around the world, inhabited by ferocious cannibals who target players and villagers, attacking them on sight. Their camps have chests that contain their personal loot, like flesh and tools made of bone...
Use bone to make swords, pickaxes, shovels, etc! These tools aren't overly strong or durable, but they are quick and easy to make and can be reliable on short notice!
If you eat human meat, you'll be afflicted by a sickness known as cannibalism sickness, it lasts for 5 minutes and if you eat non-human meats in that time period, you will gain the weakness and hunger status effects, however if you consume human meats with the effect present, you will regain extra hunger and a lot more saturation.
Don't worry, eating human meat whilst you have the sickness won't reset the timer.
However.... maybe the biggest risk... with the cannibalism sickness present, iron golems will lock onto you as an immediate threat and will chase you down to attack you.. be wary.
