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 swim into 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. Pigs can climb ladders and vines allowing for vertical movement besides jumping.

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 2×2 crafting arrangement.
