Potatoes

Potatoes is a plant block encountered in farming, which drops edible potatoes upon harvest.

Natural generation
Village farm plots have a 20% chance of being potatoes.

Crop
Potatoes can be placed on farmland by right-clicking, where they plant a potatoes crop. When left alone, potatoes go through 8 stages in order to mature and be harvested, either by the player or by farmer villagers. Planted potatoes require a light level of 10 or greater to continue growing. If the light level is 7 or below, the crops un-plant themselves ("pop off"). It is not possible to plant potatoes if the light level is too low.

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.

Immature potato crops drop one potato when broken. Mature potato crops drop from one to four potatoes, or 2 + 5/7 potato drops on average. Using a tool enchanted with fortune increases the maximum number of potatoes dropped by 1 per level. They have a 2% chance of dropping an additional poisonous potato.
