Carrot item in Minecraft

Present since 1.4.2 or earlier Stack size: 64 In 3 tutorials ↓

The Carrot is both a food and its own seed: plant it on Farmland and it grows into a carrot crop that gives back several carrots. It restores three hunger points and is the favorite food of pigs and rabbits.

It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It can be composted: each one has a 65% chance to add a layer to a Composter.

What it does

Fully grown carrots drop up to four carrots, more with Fortune, so a small field quickly feeds itself and you. Villages often have carrot fields, and zombies sometimes drop one.

Holding a carrot makes Pigs and rabbits follow you, and feeding it to two of them makes them breed. Horses, donkeys and mules eat carrots too. On a fishing rod, a carrot becomes a Carrot on a Stick, the tool that steers a saddled pig.

Eight gold nuggets around a carrot make a Golden Carrot, one of the best foods for saturation and the key ingredient of night vision potions. Carrots are also an ingredient of rabbit stew, and a novice Farmer buys them for emeralds.
