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. Similar to Melon Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds can only be planted on hoed soil.

Seeds can be obtained by harvesting a fully grown stem or by placing a pumpkin in a crafting grid. For more farming information, see Pumpkin Farming.

History
Pumpkin seeds were introduced in the Beta 1.8 Pre-release. 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 Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4 (possibly earlier).

Trivia
There are 7 seeds displayed in the Pumpkin Seeds image, compared to the 9 displayed in the Melon Seeds image and the 7 displayed in the Wheat Seeds image.

As of the Minecraft 1.0 release, the only uses for the Pumpkins harvested from Pumpkin Seeds are to get more seeds,to wear them as a helmet, to make a Jack-O-Lantern, to make a Snow Golem and to place them for decoration.
