Carrot

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

Obtaining
Carrots can be farmed and harvested on farmland. To plant a carrot, right-click with the carrot 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, but it will take an average of 2 or 3 uses to advance the crop to the final stage. Using a Fortune-enchanted tool increases the number of carrots dropped by 1 per level.

Carrots are a rare drop from zombies, and are found as crops in villager farms.

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

Carrots can also be used to breed and attract pigs.
