Pumpkin (disambiguation)

Pumpkins are objects that appeared in the Boo! update. You can carve them (into a Jack-O-Lantern) or wear them as a useless helmet.

Their spawn algorithm is unknown as of now, but it is heavily believed that they spawn in "forest biomes".

You can light a pumpkin by putting said pumpkin on a crafting table and putting a torch under it. When placed, it emits a light that extends for about 10 blocks. The only flaw is that you cannot wear it or change it back to it's original form.
