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 can be found in Abandoned Mine Shaft chests, but are much rarer than Melon Seeds. Seeds can also be obtained by harvesting a fully grown stem. For more farming tips see Pumpkin Farming.

Crafting
As of 1.9pre2, pumpkin seeds can be obtained by crafting a pumpkin.

Bugs

 * Due to a bug, it is not possible to find Pumpkin Seeds in Abandoned Mine Shafts in Beta 1.8.1, rendering them unobtainable unless the mine shaft was generated prior to the update. This will be fixed in Beta 1.9.


 * Though there have been some exceptions to this claim and there are reports that pumpkin seeds have indeed been found on new 1.8.1 seeds.
