Carrot

The Carrot is a collection item.

Obtaining
Carrots can be obtained through collecting in the Barn, the area under the Mountain, and through Carrot Minions or manual farms on the Private Island. Carrots can also be bought from the Farm Merchant for each. There is a rare chance of getting a Carrot from a Zombie in the Graveyard too.

Collection
Collecting carrots increases the player's carrot collection, which grants useful items and perks upon collecting certain amounts of carrots.

Collecting carrots grants +4 Farming XP.

Crafting
Note: This Crafting recipe is a Bug. It can be crafted, but only in the vanilla 2x2 table in the player's inventory. The item will appear as a carrot on a stick with the same name and tag as a common carrot. If it is dropped, placed in a chest, an item frame, or ender chest, it will appear as a regular carrot once the GUI is reloaded.

Carrots
Carrots is a glitched item dropped from Frosty (the mob) when it was added in 0.7.5. Unlike most of the other glitched items, Carrots can be put on the Auction House. For some reason, the game treats Carrots as a block, and it can only be found in the "Blocks" section of the Auction House.

Trivia

 * It is not possible to craft a normal carrot on a stick. By attempting to do it you will obtain a normal carrot.
 * A player with the IGN: Dawjaw, has the highest carrot collection being over 2 billion collected.
