How to Craft Golden Carrot in Minecraft
At a Crafting Table, a Golden Carrot asks for 8 Gold Nuggets and 1 Carrot. The top row is three Gold Nuggets, the middle row two Gold Nuggets in the outer columns and a Carrot in the middle column, and the bottom row three Gold Nuggets. One go makes 1 Golden Carrot. On the food bar that is 6 hunger and 14.4 saturation.
Golden Carrot Item ID and Give Command
The item ID for Golden Carrot is minecraft:golden_carrot. In commands the namespace may be left off, so golden_carrot works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.
- Give yourself one
/give @p golden_carrot- Give a full stack of 64
/give @p golden_carrot 64- Give it to a named player
/give Steve golden_carrot 1
Cheats have to be on for Golden Carrot to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.
Overview
Golden Carrots have the highest saturation (14.4) of any food in Minecraft. They are also used to brew Potions of Night Vision. Golden Carrot uses a shaped recipe: the ingredients only work in the pattern shown.
Minecraft has used the name Golden Carrot since 1.4.2, the oldest release whose language file lists it.
The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with gold nugget (craft from gold ingots) and carrot (harvest carrots or find in village farms).
The Stack Arithmetic
Bring 64 gold nuggets, leave with 8 golden carrots, after 8 rounds of 8 for 1. You supply 8 carrots to go with it. Down to the last gold nuggets, nothing spare.
Materials Needed
Collect 8x Gold Nugget (craft from gold ingots) and Carrot (harvest carrots or find in village farms) first; the Crafting Table does the rest.
The Full Chain
Gold Ingot, then Gold Nugget, then the Golden Carrot. All in: 1 Carrot and 1 Gold Ore.
