Building with Golden Carrot

Eight gold nuggets around a carrot give the highest saturation food in the game: six hunger but far more staying power than anything else. It is also the ingredient for night vision potions, so a gold farm and a carrot farm together solve two problems at once.

Working with Golden Carrot in practice

Saturation is what golden carrots are really for: they keep the hunger bar from moving for far longer than any ordinary food, which is why they are the standard food for a raid or a long trip. Eight nuggets each means a gold farm rather than a carrot farm is the limit.
