Potato

Potatoes are a food item and are a rare drops from zombies. They can be planted, consumed or cooked in a furnace to make baked potatoes.

Farming
Potatoes can be farmed and harvested on farmland, the same way as farming wheat and carrots. When farmed, they will take 8 stages to grow. However, every two stages has the same texture, so only 4 stages are seen. Fully grown potato crops drop 1 to 4 potatoes and have a 2% chance of dropping an additional poisonous potato. Currently, potatoes can be found as a rare drop from zombies and also in NPC Villages alongside wheat and carrots. Bone meal can be used to immediately mature the potato to its last stage of growth, but fortune tools do not have any effect on potato crops.
