A carrot is a food item that can be eaten by the player.

Obtaining

Breaking

Mature carrot crops drop 1 to 4 carrots (about 2 ⁵⁄₇ per crop harvested on average). Bone meal can be used on carrots. Using a tool enchanted with Fortune increases the maximum number of carrots dropped by 1 per level.

Natural generation

Village farm plots have a 20% (¹⁄₅) chance of having carrots.

Mob loot

Zombies, husks, and zombie villagers have a 2.5% (¹⁄₄₀) chance of dropping either an iron ingot, carrot, or potato when killed by a player or tamed wolf. This is increased by 1% (¹⁄₁₀₀) per level of looting. This gives carrots the following chances of dropping:

• ¹⁄₁₂₀ (about 0.83%)
• ¹¹⁄₆₀ (about 1.83%) with Looting I
• ¹⁷⁄₆₀ (about 2.83%) with Looting II
• ²³⁄₆₀ (about 3.83%) with Looting III

To eat a carrot, press and hold use while the carrot is selected in the hotbar. Eating a carrot restores 3 () hunger and 3.6 hunger saturation.

Farming

See also: Crop farming

Carrots can be farmed and harvested on farmland. Planted carrots take 8 stages to grow, and go through 4 visually distinct stages. Mature carrot crops drop 1 to 5 carrots (about 3 per crop harvested on average). Bone meal can be used on carrots. Using a tool enchanted with fortune increases the maximum number of carrots dropped by 1 per level.

Villager farmers break fully grown carrots, and may pick up the carrots also.

Rabbits find and eat carrot crops, decreasing its growth stage by 1. The crops do not drop any carrots when eaten.

Breeding

Carrots can also be used to breed and attract pigs and rabbits.

Villagers can pick up carrot items to become willing, which allow them to breed. Villagers require 12 carrots to become willing.

Trading

Novice-level Farmer villagers have a 25% (¹⁄₄)‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]} or 40% (²⁄₅)‌^{[Java Edition only]} chance to buy 22 carrots for an emerald.
