Carrots are a food item obtained from carrot crops that can be consumed, used to plant carrot crops, or used as a crafting ingredient.

Carrot crops are planted in farmland and used to grow carrots.

Obtaining

Breaking

Fully grown carrot crops drop 2 to 5 carrots (3 ⁵⁄₇ per crop harvested on average). Yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with Fortune, with Fortune III harvesting an average of 5 ³⁄₇ carrots.

The yield is calculated by a binomial distribution: 2 drops are fixed, then a drop is attempted three times with a success rate of 57.14286% to yield the extra 0–3 drops. Each level of Fortune enchantment increases the number of attempts by one.

Natural generation

Village farm plots have a chance of having carrots. The exact chance depends on the style of the village:

Village style	Chance
Plains	30%
Snowy	10%

Carrots can also generate in abandoned camps.

Mob loot

Zombies, husks, and zombie villagers have a 2.5% (¹⁄₄₀) chance of dropping either an iron ingot, carrot, or potato when killed by a player or tamed wolf. This is increased by 1% (¹⁄₁₀₀) per level of looting. This gives carrots the following chances of dropping:

• ¹⁄₁₂₀ (about 0.83%)
• ⁷⁄₆₀₀ (about 1.17%) with Looting I
• ⁹⁄₆₀₀ (about 1.50%) with Looting II
• ¹¹⁄₆₀₀ (about 1.83%) with Looting III

Usage

Food

To eat a carrot, press and hold use while the carrot is selected in the hotbar. Eating a carrot restores 3 () hunger and 3.6 hunger saturation.

Farming

Carrots can be farmed and harvested on farmland. Planted carrots go through 8 stages of growth, but only 4 apparent stages because the texture only changes upon reaching stages 3, 5, and 8 with stage 8 being the final, mature appearance.

Carrots require a light level of 8 or greater to plant‌^{[Java Edition only]} and 9 or greater to grow. In Bedrock Edition they can be planted at any light level, but need an internal light level of 9 to grow. Crops grow faster if the farmland they are planted in is hydrated. Using bone meal on crops also increases the speed of growth by randomly increasing their growth stage by 2 to 5.

Crops break if pushed by a piston or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (e.g. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.

If /gamerule mobGriefing is true, rabbits find mature carrot crops‌^{[Java Edition only]} / carrot crops with growth stage greater than 1.‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]} This reduces the growth stages by one, removing the crop completely when the growth stage reaches 0.

Animal food

Carrots can be used to breed and attract pigs and rabbits, and make baby pigs and rabbits grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Carrots can be used to heal, grow, and increase temper of horses, donkeys, and mules, but does not breed them. In Java Edition, due to a bug, skeleton horses (in their hostile state; being ridden by skeletons) can also be fed carrots.^[1]

Villagers

Villagers can pick up carrot items to become willing, which allow them to breed. Villagers require 12 carrots to become willing.
