As stated above, the Carrot on a Stick only has one use: to turn a regular pig into a rideable pig. Players will likely only need to ride a pig in humourous situations, such as pig races or pig jousting.

Pigs are not an efficient way to travel over land as they are slower than the player. Horses are much more recommended for land travel.

The Carrot on a Stick can also be enchanted with the Unbreaking, Mending, and Curse of Vanishing enchantments.
