Description

Pumpkin Seeds behave like melon seeds in every major aspect: they require farmland, light of nine or above, and a free adjacent block of dirt, grass, or farmland for the pumpkin to appear. The stem grows through eight stages and then attempts to place a pumpkin block beside itself on every random tick. Unlike most other crops, the stem persists after harvest and does not need replanting. Seeds come from dungeon, mineshaft, temple, bastion, and village chests, or can be crafted from a pumpkin block at a crafting table. Breaking the pumpkin block without Silk Touch always drops one whole pumpkin, not slices, making the output different from melons. Pumpkins are used for jack-o-lanterns, carved pumpkin helmets, snow golem and iron golem spawning, and pumpkin pie crafting. In large automated farms, two or three stems per output spot keep production consistent even if spreading events are missed on some ticks.
