Usage[edit]
Farming[edit]
Beetroot seeds can be placed on farmland. After being placed, it goes through four states of growth. When fully grown it can be broken to produce beetroot seeds and beetroots.
While beetroot crops have only four growth stages compared to eight for wheat, carrots, and potatoes, each growth tick has a 1⁄3 chance of not advancing the growth stage and therefore beetroot grows slightly faster than other crops.
One application of bonemeal has a 75% chance of advancing growth by one stage. This is less effective than for other crops: an average of 5 1⁄3 are needed to fully grow beetroot compared to 2 2⁄7 for other crops.
Breeding[edit]
Like other seeds, beetroot seeds can be used to breed chickens, lead chickens around, and make baby chickens grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.
Taming[edit]
Like other seeds, beetroot seeds can be used to tame parrots.
Composting[edit]
Placing beetroot seeds into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
