How to Get Beetroot Seeds in Minecraft

Most seeds are pretty straightforward to obtain in Minecraft, and no, we are not talking about these Minecraft seeds you need to visit. Instead, we are talking about seeds you can plant in your village or settlement in the game. And some seeds are just much rarer, or you need to visit a specific Minecraft biome to find them, like beetroot seeds. They are not difficult to find but may require a lot of work to get in large quantities. With that, let’s see all the ways you can get beetroot seeds in Minecraft.

Where to Find Beetroot Seeds in Minecraft

You can obtain beetroot seeds in three different ways. For easier readability, we have listed them below:

• Breaking planted beetroot seeds and fully grown beetroot crops.
• Finding beetroot seeds in several different structures’ chests.
• Buying beetroot seeds occasionally from wandering traders.

Beetroot seeds generate naturally in your world inside village farms, similar to most other seeds in Minecraft. However, the percentage in which you’re expected to find beetroot seeds in village farms is far lower than other seeds. In fact, you can get beetroot seeds only in plains villages (5%) and in desert villages (20%).

Once you find farms with beetroot seeds planted, it’s better to wait for the crop to fully mature, so you can get up to 4 beetroot seeds after breaking it.

Moreover, the fortune enchantment on a tool will significantly increase the chance of the crop dropping more seeds. On the other hand, if you break a beetroot crop that hasn’t reached the final stage, then you’ll only get one beetroot seed.

The second way of obtaining beetroot seeds includes looting the chests in some structures. Those are the following:

• Snowy village houses (66.3%)
• Mineshafts (27.3%)
• End cities (21.2%)
• Dungeons (18.5%)
• Woodland mansions (18.5%)
• Trail ruins‘ suspicious gravel (2.2%)

Finally, it’s possible to buy beetroot seeds from a wandering trader. This mob will spawn randomly near your location and may offer to sell these seeds for one emerald.

How to Use Beetroot Seeds

Now that you know how to get beetroot seeds, let’s figure out how to use them.

1. Plant Beetroot Seeds

The first and most obvious way is to plant them. You can plant beetroot seeds and grow beetroot the same way you would wheat, carrots, and potatoes. Simply hoe the dirt, right-click the farmland with beetroot seeds, and make sure it’s hydrated. After some time, the beetroot crop will fully mature, and you can harvest it to get more beetroot seeds.

2. Breed Chicken, Pigs, and More

Furthermore, since beetroot seeds are seeds, you can use them to feed and breed chickens, as well as lead them toward you in Minecraft. Also, baby chickens will grow faster if you feed them additional beetroot seeds. Apart from chickens, parrots also love beetroot seeds, similarly to wheat seeds. This means you can tame a parrot with them.

Beetroot is an item you can use to breed pigs and lead them around. Though that’s not all. You can use beetroot to breed villagers as well. Simply throw them at villagers, and they’ll pick them up. In addition, this crop can bring you emeralds if you trade them with a farmer villager job.

3. Decorative Red Field

Although there is always an option to compost the beetroot seeds if you don’t need them, you can use them in one more way. Unlike other seeds, you can create massive beautiful decorative red fields in your world, so your farms stand out.

This has been a trend for a while now in the community, so if you are interested in having lots of gorgeous colorful fields, then definitely start farming beetroot seeds.

4. Eating Beetroot

Let’s not overlook the beetroot item itself. This is primarily a food item that restores half a hunger point (drumstick) and 1.2 saturation. It is a crafting ingredient necessary for making beetroot soup. It also provides an alternative way of crafting red dye.

And just like that, you know everything about getting and using beetroot seeds in Minecraft. With this knowledge, you’re now ready to venture far into your world and gather a lot of beetroot seeds for your projects. So don’t forget to tell us what you plan to do with beetroot seeds
