Carrot in villager trading
Carrot is a raw-material trade: villagers pay emeralds for it, which makes it a candidate for an automated emerald farm rather than something you purchase back.
Carrot is a farmable crop. Large automated farms make it trivial to mass-produce, which is exactly why villagers buying it form the backbone of most emerald farms. No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it: it drops from husks, zombie villagers and zombies, and it comes out of carrots.

Your odds of finding Carrot
A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades carrot is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the farmer (novice): 40% of them carry it, so it takes about 2.5 of them on average before one does.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Farmer | Novice | 40% (2 in 5)Bedrock 25% (1 in 4) | about 2.5 | 32 emeralds a day2 restocks a day | 16 carrotwas 22, 6 off |
The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The day figure is the trade's use limit times the 2 restocks a villager is allowed per in-game day (Villager.allowedToRestock), so it is a ceiling and not an average: it assumes you are there for every restock. The cure column is 125 reputation times the trade's own multiplier, floored, and never takes a cost below one. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.
Who trades Carrot, and at what price
To sell Carrot for emeralds, bring it to a Farmer at the Novice tier (22 units per 1 emerald).
Is trading Carrot worth it?
The best rate any villager offers is an emerald per 22 carrots, from the Farmer, and 4 of the other 5 pay out faster. No villager sells carrot back, so it is emeralds out and nothing in.
Carrot against the other 71 ways to earn an emerald
One slot at the Farmer takes 22 carrots a trade, 16 trades, 16 emeralds. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Worth in Carrot |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 acacia boats | master Fisherman | 12 | 264 carrots |
| 24 book and quills | expert Librarian | 12 | 264 carrots |
| 60 ink sacs | journeyman Librarian | 12 | 264 carrots |
| 96 tripwire hooks | master Fletcher | 12 | 264 carrots |
| 144 nether quartz | expert Mason | 12 | 264 carrots |
| 240 coal | apprentice Butcher | 16 | 352 carrots |
| 320 string | novice Fisherman | 16 | 352 carrots |
| 360 flint | journeyman Toolsmith | 12 | 264 carrots |
16 acacia boats against 480 flint for the same 16 emeralds, 30 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Butcher at 10 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted. Carrot itself pays 22 an emerald, so 60 of the 72 ask less and 10 ask more.
How Carrot trading works
Every carrot offer here locks after 16 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 32 of these trades a day and no more.
The earliest carrot shows up is the Farmer's Novice tier, which a villager has the moment it claims the workstation.
How long Carrot takes in real time
352 carrots empty one slot at the Farmer, 2400 ticks (Villager.allowedToRestock) at 20 a second (TickRateManager) refill it 2 real minutes later, and the 24000-tick villager day (Timelines) holds 2 of those fills in 20 real minutes.
So one farmer moves 704 carrots against 32 emeralds a Minecraft day, 22 carrots every 37.5 real seconds, 1.6 emeralds a real minute. 64 carrots fit inside one of those slots, refill untouched.
Tips for trading Carrot
- One villager, one restock: the Farmer pays an emerald per 22 carrots and that slot runs 16 trades, so 352 carrots (5.5 stacks) is all one will take before it locks, for 16 emeralds in total.
- Where they go back: that Farmer also sells bread, 6 for 1 emerald, its cheapest offer.
- Also on the Farmer's list: beetroot, pumpkin, pumpkin pie, apple, melon, cookie.
