Obtaining

Usage

Riding a pig

To use a carrot on a stick, the player must first Minecraft:saddle a Minecraft:pig, and ride it while holding the carrot on a stick. The pig then moves in the direction of the carrot. Also, if the player holds a carrot on a stick, all nearby pigs (but not Minecraft:rabbits<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref>) follow the player, but they can't breed using a carrot on a stick.

To make the pig run faster, the player can press Template:Control while holding the carrot on a stick. This is called "boosting". Each boost costs 7 durability Template:In, or 2 durability Template:In. If the carrot on a stick's durability is depleted, it turns back into a Minecraft:fishing rod.

The speed of a mounted pig is 2.42 m/s. Boosting a pig causes its speed to slowly ramp up until it reaches 2.15 times its normal speed, 5.20 m/s. Then speed slowly declines until the pig reaches normal speed again. The boost lasts between 140 and 980 game Minecraft:ticks (7 seconds and 49 seconds respectively), chosen randomly. No matter how many ticks the boost lasts, the average speed of pig during a full boost cycle is roughly 4.19 m/s. These boosted speeds are applied only while holding the carrot on a stick. These speeds are affected by the Minecraft:speed effect.
