Carrots can sometimes be found growing in farm plots within naturally-generated Villages. They may also be dropped (2.5% chance) by Zombies when killed.

Mechanics

Carrots can be planted by placing the carrot itself in a Farmland block, as they do not have seeds. When planted, a carrot grows much like Wheat. However, it has only four stages of growth, instead of eight. A carrot can be instantly converted into a fully-grown plant by using Bonemeal, much like other crops. Using carrots on two Pigs or Rabbits nearby will trigger breeding. Carrots can be crafted into a handful of useful items, including a Carrot on a Stick or Golden Carrot (crafting recipes below).

Advantages

Carrots take up less space than a large field of wheat, and gathering more than a full stack of carrots may only require as few as a 6x4 plot compared to Bread, which requires a 1×3 wheat for one piece of bread.
Carrots have a higher saturation level than most other crops.
Carrots are used to breed pigs, rabbits, and chickens, as technically, carrots are a seed. However, chickens will not follow one if equipped with a carrot, they will only follow if wheat seeds are equipped.
Carrots do not require Crafting or cooking to get the most out of them.

Disadvantage

Carrots can be harder to find since they can only be found in villages, ship wrecks or by a rare drop from zombies.

Trivia

The carrots had a different texture before update 1.4. They appeared as several carrots in a bunch, and were originally called "carrots". The name was eventually changed to the singular "carrot" and the texture was also changed to a single carrot.
Carrots and Wheat look identical on their first stage of growth.
Before update 1.8, carrots restored 2 hunger points when eaten.
Carrots can be hard to come by, in worlds generated before update 1.4.2, as villages were much less common.
Even though horses like carrots in real life, they don't like carrots in Minecraft.
