Description
Carrot crops grow through eight stages on farmland, following the same light and water requirements as wheat. Planting does not require seeds — an item placed directly on tilled soil grows into the next harvest without a dedicated seed form. Fully mature plants drop between one and five carrots, making the yield slightly variable. They can be eaten raw with no crafting required, restoring three hunger points, which makes them convenient early-game food. Golden carrots are brewed for night vision potions and are among the best raw foods in the game by saturation value. Pigs and rabbits breed when offered a carrot, so farms that combine livestock and crops place the rows close to the animal pens. In survival progression, finding the first carrot often happens through village farms or zombie loot drops, since dedicated seeds do not exist as a separate item.
