About the Carrot on a Stick

A Carrot on a Stick is a riding tool for saddled pigs. When you hold it while riding a pig, the pig moves in the direction you look. Each time you use the item, you get a short speed boost, but the tool wears down a little. It breaks after too many boosts.

It only works on saddled pigs. Other mobs ignore it, and you cannot use it to breed or lead pigs like a plain carrot.

How to get the Carrot on a Stick

You craft it by combining a fishing rod and a carrot at a crafting table. The recipe is shapeless, so the two ingredients can go in any arrangement. This is the only way to get one in survival. For the fishing rod you need sticks and string, and carrots come from village farms, zombie drops, or your own garden.
