A golden carrot is a food item that provides the most saturation out of all stackable foods when eaten. It is also a brewing ingredient for potions of Night Vision. In Java Edition, due to its high saturation, a golden carrot restores the most health via saturation boost of any stackable food item.

Usage

Food

To eat a golden carrot, press and hold use while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores 6 (🍗🍗🍗) and 14.4 saturation points.

Animal food

Golden carrots are used to tame, breed, lead, grow, and heal horses, donkeys, and mules, and to breed, lead, and grow rabbits. In Java Edition, due to a bug, skeleton horses (in their hostile state; being ridden by skeletons) can also be fed golden carrots.[1]
