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

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.

Block	Beetroots
Hardness	0
Breaking time (secs)
Default	0.05

Legend

• incorrect tool, drops nothing
• correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
• correct tool, drops the block itself
• italicized can be instant mined

Axes are considered the preferred tool, and swords would also increase the breaking speed, however these ultimately have no impact due to the instant default mining speed.

Natural generation

Village farm plots have a chance of being beetroots. The exact chance depends on the style of the village:

Village style	Chance
Desert	20%
Plains	5%

Trading

Beetroot seeds are sold by wandering traders for one emerald.

Usage

Farming

Beetroot seeds can be planted on farmland to create a plant that grows through 4 stages of growth. The seeds require a light level of 8 or greater to plant‌ and 9 or greater to grow. In Bedrock Edition they can be planted at any light level, but need a internal light level of 9 to grow. When fully grown, the plant can be broken to harvest 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 bone meal 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.

Crops break if pushed by a piston or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (e.g. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.

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.
