How to Grow Beetroot in Minecraft

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: Find beetroot crops in villages or plant beetroot seeds on farmland. A fully grown crop drops beetroots and 1 to 4 seeds (2 5/7 on average), and Fortune III raises the seed average to 5 3/7. Six beetroots craft into beetroot soup. Bone meal can mature the crop.

What you need

Hoe and farmland
Bone meal (optional)
