Overview
Golden Carrot is a food item in the Food category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it, trading (Farmer), and Ruined Portal chest loot. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Golden Carrot. Eating it restores 6 hunger (3 drumsticks) and 14.4 saturation points. This item was added to the game in version 1.4.2.
In this database, Golden Carrot sits alongside 36 other Food entries, each with its own page. Restoring 6 hunger and 14.4 saturation, Golden Carrot keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue; higher saturation means you stay full for longer before needing to eat again.
