Beetroot Seeds

Beetroot seeds are items that can be used to plant beetroot crops.

Beetroot crops are planted in farmland and used to grow beetroot and beetroot seeds.

Obtaining[]

Natural generation[]

Village farms have a chance of growing beetroot. The exact chance depends on the village:

Village style	Chance
Desert	20%
Plains	5%

Breaking[]

Harvesting fully-grown beetroot yields from 1 to 4 seeds per crop harvested (2 ⁵⁄₇ seeds per crop harvested on average). The Fortune enchantment can be used to improve the drop rate.

Trading[]

Usage[]

Farming[]

Beetroot seeds can be placed on farmland. After being placed, it goes through four stages of growth. When fully grown it can be broken to produce beetroot seeds and beetroots.

While beetroot crops have only four growth stages compared to eight for wheat, carrots, and potatoes, each growth tick has a ¹⁄₃ chance of not advancing the growth stage and therefore beetroot grows slightly faster than other crops.

Crops grow faster if the farmland they are planted in is hydrated. One application of bonemeal has a 75% chance of advancing growth by one stage. This is less effective than for other crops: an average of 5 ¹⁄₃ are needed to fully grow beetroot compared to 2 ²⁄₇ for other crops.

Breeding[]

Like other seeds, beetroot seeds can be used to breed chickens, lead chickens around, and make baby chickens grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Taming[]

Like other seeds, beetroot seeds can be used to tame parrots.

Composting[]

Placing beetroot seeds into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Trading[]

Wandering traders may offer to sell beetroot seeds for one emerald.
