Jack o'Lantern

A jack o'lantern is a solid block that provides light.

Obtaining
Jack o'Lanterns can be mined with any tool, or without a tool, but axes are the quickest.

Mobs
If a mob wearing a pumpkin or jack o'lantern is killed using a tool enchanted with Looting, there will be a chance equivalent to the level of Looting used to drop the pumpkin or jack o'lantern, up to a maximum of a 3% chance of a drop.

Light source
Jack o'lanterns have a luminance of 15 and the ability to provide light while submerged under water. Like most light sources, they will melt snow and ice.

Building golems
Jack o'lanterns can be used to build snow golems and iron golems as shown below. Snow golems require snow blocks for their bodies, while iron golems require iron blocks. The jack o'lantern must be placed last or the golem will not spawn.

Data values
Jack o'lanterns have the ID name, and a data value of 91.

Trivia

 * On Halloween (October 31), all undead mobs (zombies, zombie villagers, zombie pigmen, skeletons, spider jockies and wither skeletons) have a chance of spawning with either a jack o'lantern or an ordinary pumpkin equipped as headgear. The worn jack o'lanterns do not glow or emit light. Despite the Halloween easter-egg, the player cannot wear a jack o'lantern like they can a pumpkin.
