FAQ
What tool should I use to break a pumpkin?
An axe is fastest, but any tool — or bare hands — will eventually break it and drop the block.
How do I get a Jack o'Lantern?
Shear the pumpkin to carve it, then combine the Carved Pumpkin with a Torch in a crafting grid.
Are pumpkins renewable?
Yes. Planting Pumpkin Seeds on farmland grows stems that continually produce new pumpkins on adjacent open blocks.
Can pumpkins be used for farm trading or composting?
Farmer villagers buy pumpkins for emeralds, and pumpkins have a good chance of raising the compost bin's level when used as compost material.
