Beetroot Seeds

Beetroot seeds are items currently exclusive to Minecraft: Pocket Edition that can be grown to make beetroot. They are also coming soon to the PC edition.

Hoes
In the Pocket Edition, beetroot seeds can be found by tilling the ground. Tilling the ground does not guarantee a beetroot drop - there is a 1/15 chance that a beetroot seed will be found. It is 30% rarer to find a beetroot seed than a regular seed.

Natural generation
Village farm plots have a 10% chance of being beetroot.

Farming
Harvesting fully-grown beetroot yields from 0 to 3 seeds per crop harvested (0.8 seeds/crop harvested on average).

Usage
Beetroot seeds can be placed on farmland. After being placed, it will undergo four states of growth. When fully grown it can be broken to produce beetroot seeds and beetroots.

While beetroot crops have only four growth stages compared to eight for wheat, carrots, and potatoes, each growth tick has a $1/3$ chance of not advancing the growth stage and therefore beetroot grows only slightly faster than other crops.

One application of bonemeal has a 75% chance of advancing growth by one stage. This is less effective than for other crops: an average of $5 1/3$ are needed to fully grow beetroot compared to $2 2/7$ for other crops.
