A carrot on a stick is a tool crafted from a fishing rod and a carrot, primarily used to control a saddled pig while riding it. Holding the carrot on a stick causes the pig to move in the direction the player is facing, and right-clicking boosts the pig's speed at the cost of the item's durability. The tool loses durability with each boost and eventually breaks. It can be upgraded to a warped fungus on a stick to control striders in the Nether.
