Description

Carrots are a basic and useful food crop that you plant grow and harvest to feed yourself and villagers and to craft useful items. They look like bright orange roots that sit in tilled soil and they come in bundles when harvested which makes them handy for cooking and farming. Carrots are renewable and grow through several growth stages which lets players plan farms that supply steady food without constant searching. They are also valuable in trading and in breeding animals like pigs and rabbits making them a versatile resource for a farming based play style. Because carrots can be used raw in food recipes or cooked on a campfire or in a furnace they provide flexible options for restoring hunger points. Players often build carrot farms near their base because they are easy to automate using water and redstone or simple hopper based harvesting systems which reduces manual labor and keeps stores full. Carrots are a familiar and early game friendly crop that rewards players who put a little work into farmland and irrigation. In multiplayer carrots become part of market systems because a steady farm can supply many players and help a community grow its food supply with minimal effort.
