Beetroot
Beetroots are a food and dye ingredient.
Contents
Obtaining[edit]
Beetroots are obtained from harvesting a fully grown crop block, which drops 1 beetroot and 1 - 4 seeds(about 2.5 seeds harvested on average). These crops can be found growing in villages or can be grown from planted beetroot seeds.
Usage[edit]
Food[edit]
Beetroots can be eaten to restore 1 (
) hunger and 1.2 hunger saturation.
Breeding[edit]
Beetroots can be used to breed pigs. Pigs also follow a player who is holding beetroot.
Villagers can pick up beetroot items to become willing, allowing them to breed. Villagers need 12 beetroots before they can breed.
