Carrot

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

Farming
Carrots can be farmed and harvested on farmland. Planted carrots take 8 stages to grow. However, there are only 4 distinct textures, so only 4 visible stages: every two stages have the same texture, except that growth stage 7 keeps the same appearance as stages 5 and 6, so that only stage 8 has the final, "mature" appearance. Mature carrot crops drop 1 to 4 carrots. Bone meal can be used on carrots. Using a tool enchanted with fortune increases the number of carrots dropped by 1 per level.

Zombies
Zombies can rarely drop a carrot when killed by the player.

Natural generation
Carrots generate naturally as crops in Villages.

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

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