Mob loot

Zombies, husks, and zombie villagers have a 2.5% (¹⁄₄₀) chance of dropping either an iron ingot, carrot, or potato when killed by a player or tamed wolf. This is increased by 1% (¹⁄₁₀₀) per level of looting. This gives carrots the following chances of dropping:

¹⁄₁₂₀ (about 0.83%)
⁷⁄₆₀₀ (about 1.17%) with Looting I
⁹⁄₆₀₀ (about 1.50%) with Looting II
¹¹⁄₆₀₀ (about 1.83%) with Looting III

Usage

Carrots can be used to breed and attract pigs and rabbits, and make baby pigs and rabbits grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Carrots can be used to heal, grow, and increase temper of horses, donkeys, and mules, but does not breed them. In Java Edition, due to a bug, skeleton horses (in their hostile state; being ridden by skeletons) can also be fed carrots.^[1]

Villagers

Villagers can pick up carrot items to become willing, which allow them to breed. Villagers require 12 carrots to become willing.

Data history

Java Edition
1.8	14w06a	Crop blocks now have dedicated model json files; previously the geometry was defined in the game code itself.^{[more information needed]}
1.13	17w47a	Prior to The Flattening, this block's numeral ID was 141, and the item's 391.
1.17	21w19a	`minecraft:carrots` has been added to the newly-implemented `#minecraft:mineable/axe` block tag. This, however, has no effect in-game, since the block breaks instantly anyway regardless of tool used or active effects.^{[check the code]}
1.21.5	25w10a	`minecraft:carrots` has been removed from the block tags `#minecraft:mineable/axe` and `#minecraft:sword_efficient`.
