Carrot on a Stick

A Carrot on a Stick is an item that can be used to control saddled pigs.

Use
To use a carrot on a stick, the player must first saddle the pig. The pig will then move in the direction that the carrot on a stick points to. To make the pig run faster the player can right click while holding the Carrot on a stick. It is not possible to have the pig jump up blocks, or jump out of water. Hitting the pig will make it move randomly as if it were hurt. Also, if the player holds a carrot on a stick, all pigs (saddled or not) will follow the player. Currently, pigs can not jump. Making this method of travel noneffective.

Crafting
The carrot must be placed at a diagonal below the fishing rod, hence making it possible to craft a Carrot on a Stick using the inventory 2x2 crafting arrangement.

Trivia

 * This item could possibly be a reference to Ed, Edd 'n Eddy, a 1990s cartoon series, in which one farmboy character that appears to be of Yiddish descent (or something of the like, which is unspecified,) named Rolph, rode his pet pig, Wilfred, with a makeshift saddle and controlled the direction the pig moved in with a carrot on the end of a stick.
