Template:Infobox item

A potato is a Minecraft:food Minecraft:item obtained from potato crops that can be used to plant them, consumed raw or cooked to make baked potatoes.

Potato crops are planted in Minecraft:farmland and used to grow potatoes and, rarely, poisonous potatoes.

Obtaining

Breaking

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

Fully grown potato crops drop 2 to 5 potatoes (Template:Frac per crop harvested on average) and have a 2% chance of dropping an additional poisonous potato. Potato yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with Fortune, with Fortune III harvesting an average of Template:Frac potatoes. Bone meal can be used to mature the potato to its last stage of growth.

The first two potatoes always drop, and then three more attempts are made to drop a potato with a success rate of 57.14286% to yield the extra 0–3 drops. Each level of Fortune enchantment increases the number of attempts by one. Script error: No such module "breaking row".

Natural generation

Village farm plots have a chance of being planted with potatoes. The exact chance depends on the style of the village:

Village style Chance
Script error: No such module "SpriteFile". Snowy 70%
Script error: No such module "SpriteFile". Plains 15%
Script error: No such module "SpriteFile". Taiga 10%

Mob loot

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

in Template:Editions, when killed with fire, a zombie drops a baked potato instead.

Usage

Farming

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote When farmed, potatoes go through 8 stages of growth. However, there are four apparent stages because the texture only changes upon reaching stages 1, 3, 5, and 8 with stage 8 being the final, mature appearance.

Potatoes require a light level of 8 or greater to plantTemplate:Only and 9 or greater to grow. in Template:Editions they can be planted at any light level, but need an internal light level of 9 to grow. Crops grow faster if the farmland they are planted in is hydrated. Using bone meal on crops also increases the speed of growth by randomly increasing their growth stage by 2 to 5.

Crops break if pushed by a Minecraft:piston or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (e.g. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.

Food

To eat a potato, press and hold {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}use while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating a potato restores Template:Hunger hunger and 0.6 saturation.

Breeding

Minecraft:Pigs follow and can be bred by a player holding a potato.

Minecraft:Villagers can pick up potato items to become willing, which allow them to breed. Villagers require 12 potatoes to become willing.

Smelting ingredient

Template:Smelting

Trading

Template:Trade uses

Composting

Placing a potato into a Minecraft:composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1, less than composting with baked potatoes, which has a higher success chance of 85%.
