About Golden Carrot
The golden carrot is one of the best foods in the game for long trips and tough fights. It restores 6 hunger and gives a large saturation boost, so your hunger stays full for a long time and your health regenerates quickly.
It has other uses too. Brew it with an awkward potion to make a Potion of Night Vision. It is also the standard food for breeding horses, donkeys, mules, and rabbits. Because gold nuggets are involved, most players save these for important moments instead of eating them casually.
How to get Golden Carrot
You can craft a golden carrot by placing a regular carrot in the centre of a crafting grid and surrounding it with eight gold nuggets. This is the main way to obtain one.
High-level farmer villagers can also sell golden carrots as a trade. Once you have that trade unlocked, it is a reliable way to stock up without spending more gold.
