Description
Carved Pumpkin is created by using shears on a regular pumpkin, which carves the front face into the classic jack-o-lantern grin and drops four pumpkin seeds — useful for replanting. The block can also be obtained directly from pillager outpost loot or from raid-trophy containers, though shears-on-pumpkin is the standard method.
The most useful unique property is its wearable status: equipping the block in the helmet slot turns the player's view into a pumpkin-mask perspective with eye-holes for visibility, and most importantly, makes endermen ignore the player even when looked at directly — solving the otherwise constant aggression problem in the End dimension. The block is also the head ingredient for two iconic golems: stack two snow blocks vertically and place a carved pumpkin on top to spawn a snow golem; arrange four iron blocks in a T-shape and place a carved pumpkin on top to spawn an iron golem. Combining with a torch on the crafting grid produces a jack o'lantern.
