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

Obtaining

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 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.

Villager farmers will break fully grown carrots, and may pick up the carrots as well.

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

Zombies

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

• ¹⁄₁₂₀ (about 0.83%)
• ¹¹⁄₆₀₀ (about 1.83%) with Looting I
• ¹⁷⁄₆₀₀ (about 2.83%) with Looting II
• ²³⁄₆₀₀ (about 3.83%) with Looting III

Natural generation

Village farm plots have a 20% chance of being carrots.

Carrots can be found in 44.9% of shipwreck supply chests in stacks of 4–8, and in 57.5% of pillager outpost chests in stacks of 3–5.

In Bedrock Edition, they can be found in 50.0% of bonus chests in stacks of 1–2.

Usage

See also: Hunger management

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.

Breeding

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

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

Trading

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