Pre-Release |
Pumpkins are Blocks originally added in Pre-Release. They were removed in Alpha 0.1.0, and weren't added back until Update 0.8.0.
Obtaining[]
Pumpkins can spawn naturally in small patches in Plains, Swamp, Savannah, Jungle and Taiga Biomes. They can also be grown manually by using Pumpkin Seeds.
Crafting[]
- 1 Pumpkin => 4 Pumpkin Seeds
- 1 Pumpkin + 1 Egg + 1 Sugar => 1 Pumpkin Pie
- 1 Torch + 1 Pumpkin => 1 Jack O'Lantern
Usage[]
By placing 2 Snow Blocks and 1 Pumpkin on top of each other, a Snow Golem can be created. Also, by placing 4 Iron Blocks and 1 Pumpkin in a T-formation, an Iron Golem can be created. They can be also worn as protection against Enderman aggravation.
As of Update 1.0.4, Pumpkins can also be Traded for using Emeralds.
