Pumpkin
Pumpkin is the orange Halloween-staple gourd — generates naturally in patches, used for jack-o-lanterns, golems, and savoury baking.

Description
Pumpkin generates as small patches scattered across grass surfaces in nearly every Overworld biome, with the densest concentrations in plains and forests. The texture shows a ribbed orange gourd with a dark green stem on top, instantly recognizable from any distance. Mining yields one orange-gourd item; the block has no special tool requirement and breaks fastest with an axe.
Player-grown crops start from the seeds — obtained by breaking a wild gourd or finding seeds in dungeon chests — planted on tilled farmland adjacent to a free space. The seed grows a stem, and after several stages the stem produces a pumpkin in any cardinal-direction free dirt or grass. Crafting uses include pumpkin pie (one pumpkin, one egg, one sugar — the most filling food in vanilla), the jack-o-lantern (combine with torch), and seed extraction (one fruit in any crafting slot returns four seeds). Carving with shears creates the wearable carved variant, used to spawn iron golems and snow golems.
