The stages of Pumpkin stem growth
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.
