Which Biomes Generate Pumpkins
The article mentions that pumpkins generate in "most overworld biomes", and that since 1.2.0 it generates in "many of the newly added biomes". This leaves the question; If it generates in most biomes (thus it does not generate in all biomes), which biomes are in- and excluded? My guess would be that only the ocean and river biomes are excluded, does anyone know for sure? 86.82.30.109 12:10, 6 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm fairly certain that pumpkins also don't generate in desert, mesa, savanna, ice mountains, and extreme hills. A definitive answer would be nice though., could you have a look at the code? —Fenhl 12:39, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It looks like all biomes except End and Void will try to generate pumpkins, but there are a few caveats:
 * This only happens in the Overworld and the End. If you mod the Nether to use overworld biomes instead of Hell, you still wouldn't get pumpkins (or Overworld ores and a bunch of other stuff, for that matter).
 * Pumpkins only generate on grass blocks, thus biomes without grass will not be able to generate pumpkins and biomes with very little grass will have proportionally fewer pumpkins.
 * Pumpkins only generate in air blocks and most plants (e.g. grass, flowers) are generated before pumpkins, thus biomes with lots of plants will have proportionally fewer pumpkins.

 * Note that the snow layer cover in snowy biomes is generated after pumpkins are placed. Anomie x (talk) 19:11, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh thanks, I should have asked. I was poking around briefly in MCP, looking for when snow is laid, but I must have forgot about it by time of writing. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 19:44, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
