Jack o'Lantern

Jack-O-Lanterns are a new feature implemented by Notch in the Halloween Update of October 31st 2010. They are intended as a purely decorative addition although they can also be used as a light source. Their luminance is far greater then that of the torch. Irritatingly, they appear identical to unlit pumpkins in the inventory. To create one you need a pumpkin and a torch (See Crafting)



Trivia

 * The Jack-O-lantern, unlike the torch, can be placed underwater and can still stay lit. Making it one of the best sources of light for water.
 * If a Jack-O-Lantern is placed on leaves then the block will be placed but it will not be removed from your inventory, effectively duplicating the block.
