Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds will grow a central stem, that grows to max size before spawning a Pumpkin next to it. The stem can be grown to full size with Bone Meal, and will spawn a Pumpkin shortly thereafter.

The seeds were no longer found in Abandoned Mine Shaft chests in 1.8.1 due to a bug. However, this has been fixed in 1.9 Prerelease 4 (possibly earlier). Seeds can be obtained by harvesting a fully grown stem. For more farming tips see Pumpkin Farming.

Future Crafting
This has been added since 1.9 pre-release 3, and will be available when the full release (Minecraft 1.0) comes out.
