Minecraft is a game that contains tons of materials and tools to create your own custom world. One of the ingredients in Minecraft is carrots. Carrots can be eaten to restore hunger points, or used to attract and raise pigs and rabbits. It can also be used to make Golden Carrots (which can make Potions of Night Vision), raise horses, and has the highest absorption rate in the game, meaning hunger points will decrease more slowly.. Except as described below, carrots perform the same function in all recent editions of Minecraft for computers, consoles, and portable devices.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Finding Carrots
Step 1. Find the village plantation
If you come across a village while exploring, be sure to check out the plantations. There is a high probability-on a 3 out of 5 scale-that the villagers are growing carrots, which can be picked up.
Step 2. Attack the zombies
Zombies have a small chance-on a 1 in 40 scale-to drop a carrot when defeated. It does happen, but it's generally inefficient and safe, so don't rely on it.
Part 2 of 3: Growing Carrots
Step 1. Use a hoe to make farmland
Farmland can be made of mud or grass. Using standard controllers, right-click (for computers), press the left trigger (on consoles), or tap (on portable devices) with the hoe selected in inventory.
Step 2. Water the farmland
Each block of farmland must be within four horizontal, vertical, or diagonal water blocks. The water block must be at the same level or one block above the farmland.
Farmland can also be irrigated manually using iron buckets, which are made of three iron rods. Rain will also irrigate agricultural land
Step 3. Plant carrots
Carrots are the seeds of their own crop, so just plant the carrots you have to produce more carrots.
Carrots can be found in all of the previously mentioned ways: picking them up from the village garden, slaughtering zombies, or looking for them in natural chests
Step 4. Wait for the carrots to grow
Carrots need eight stages to reach maturity. You'll see a little orange pop up from the farm when the carrots are ready to be harvested.
Plant maturity time can be accelerated by using bone meal as fertilizer. Bone meal is made from one bone, which makes three bone meal
Step 5. Harvest the carrots
At the time of harvesting carrots, you will get one to four carrots from one block of farmland.
- Harvest by “mining” a fully grown carrot plant.

Part 3 of 3: Using Carrots
Step 1. Eat carrots
Carrots can be eaten raw from the inventory. Each carrot eaten will return three hunger points (indicated by one and a half filled hunger icons).
Step 2. Exchange carrots to village farmers
Farmers will exchange an emerald for 15 to 19 carrots.
Step 3. Take care of pigs and rabbits
Carrots can herd and give pigs and rabbits a better diet. To raise an animal, you have to bring them both closer and then give each one a carrot to eat.
- For more detailed instructions on raising animals in Minecraft, visit
- If you have golden carrots (see next step), you can use them to raise horses and donkeys.
Step 4. Make something using carrots (only for computers and consoles)
There are several things that can be made with some carrots and other ingredients. You can't currently make carrot items in Minecraft Pocket Edition.
- Carrot on a stick (Carrot on a stick) – You will need a working fishing rod in the center of the left-hand box, and a carrot in the lower-middle box.
- Golden Carrot – Place the carrots in the center square surrounded by eight gold nuggets. Nine gold nuggets can be made by placing one gold ingot on the production table (even a small 2x2 in inventory).
- Rabbit/Rabbit Stew Setup (computer only) – Place the baked potato in the middle, the cooked rabbit in the middle left of the box, the mushrooms in the middle right of the box, and the bowl in the lower center of the box.
Step 5. Use the Golden Carrot to make a Potion of Night Vision (for computers and consoles only)
One of the main uses of the Golden Carrot, apart from feeding horses and donkeys, is to make a Night Vision Potion.
- Make a furnace, using three stone slabs and a fire stick.
- Use a bottle of water and nether wart (found in the Nether, mostly in forts) to make an Awkward Potion.
- Add the Golden Carrot to the Strange Potion to create the Night Vision Power Potion.
Step 6. Use the Golden Carrot to make Potions of Invisibility (for computers and consoles only)
Use the furnace to add fermented spider eyes to the Night Vision Power Potion.
- Fermented spider eyes are made using brown mushrooms (found naturally), sugar (made with a single cane stalk), and spider eyes (1 of 3 things a spider drops).
- The fermented spider eyes always distort the effect of the potion. (Potion of Strength becomes Potion of Weakness, Night Vision Potion becomes Invisibility Potion).
Step 7. Zoom in on the potion
With one of the potions, you can add one of the following three ingredients to it on the stove to increase the potion's abilities.
- Red stone (Redstone) – increases the duration of the potion effect.
- Glowstone (Glowstone) – increase potion power.
- Gunpowder (Gunpowder) – turn potions into splash potions. This means that when a potion is thrown it will have an effect on everyone around it. Everyone will get a small or large shard of the potion's original duration, depending on how close he or she is to where the splash potion lands and hits the ground.
