Minecraft:Carrot

Template:For Template:Infobox item A carrot is a Minecraft:food item obtained from carrot crops that can be used to plant them, eaten or used as a crafting ingredient.

Carrot crops are planted in Minecraft:farmland and used to grow carrots.

Obtaining

Breaking

Template:See also Fully grown carrot crops drop 2 to 5 carrots (Template:Frac per crop harvested on average). Yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with Minecraft:Fortune, with Fortune III harvesting an average of Template:Frac carrots.

The yield is calculated by a binomial distribution: 2 drops are fixed, then a drop is attempted three times 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. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Minecraft:Village farm plots have a chance of having carrots. The exact chance depends on the style of the village:

Village style	Chance
Template:EnvSprite Plains	30%
Template:EnvSprite Snowy	10%

Mob loot

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

Template:Frac (about 0.83%)
Template:Frac (about 1.17%) with Looting I
Template:Frac (about 1.50%) with Looting II
Template:Frac (about 1.83%) with Looting III

Farming

Template:See also

Carrots can be farmed and harvested on Minecraft:farmland. Planted carrots go through 8 stages of growth, but only 4 apparent stages because the texture only changes upon reaching stages 3, 5, and 8 with stage 8 being the final, mature appearance.

Carrots require a light level of 8 or greater to plantTemplate:Only and 9 or greater to grow. Template:IN 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 Minecraft:hydrated. Using Minecraft: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.

If Template:Cmd is true, Minecraft:rabbits find mature carrot Minecraft:crops Template:Only / carrot crops with growth stage greater than 1.Template:Only This reduces the growth stages by one, removing the crop completely when the growth stage reaches 0.

Animal food

Carrots can be used to Minecraft:breed and attract Minecraft:pigs and Minecraft:rabbits, and make baby pigs and rabbits grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Carrots can be used to heal, grow, and increase temper of Minecraft:horses, Minecraft:donkeys, and Minecraft:mules, but does not breed them. Template:IN, due to a bug, Minecraft:skeleton horses (in their hostile state; being ridden by Minecraft:skeletons) can also be fed carrots.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
