A Golden Carrot is a valuable food item and brewing ingredient. When eaten, a golden carrot restores 6 hunger points, and 14.4 saturation points (the highest saturation of any food currently in the game). A golden carrot is required to brew the Potion of Night Vision, and is thereby vital in creating the coveted Potion of Invisibility (which requires a Night Vision potion as an ingredient).

[edit] Trivia

• A stack of 64 Carrots will equal 512 Gold nuggets or 6 Blocks, 2 Ingots, and 8 Nuggets.
• Golden carrots being used for potions of night vision is based on the common misconception that eating carrots can improve one's vision; this is only true if one has vitamin A deficiency.
• Golden carrots may be the most beneficial (magical effects excluding) food item so far: their effective food+saturation value is 20.4 - just a bit less than that of meat (20.8), and they are 1.5 times as nourishing, meaning you'll spend a greater fraction of time in saturated state with health regeneration on. Nonetheless, they require nearly a full gold ingot's worth of gold nuggets in order to be created, and with gold being quite a rare material, it's better to save this item for potions of invisibility and night vision.
• Unlike other potion ingredients, golden carrot isn't used to brew awkward potion.
