Carved Pumpkin
minecraft:carved_pumpkinA carved pumpkin is made by shearing a regular pumpkin, giving it a jack-o'-lantern-style face. It can be worn as headgear to block enderman aggression and creaking freezes, crafted into a jack o'lantern with a torch, or placed atop snow, iron, or copper blocks to build golems.
FAQ
How do I get a carved pumpkin?
Shear an uncarved pumpkin to get a carved pumpkin plus pumpkin seeds; they also generate in woodland mansions and pillager outposts.
Does pumpkin orientation matter for building golems?
No, orientation is irrelevant when placing a carved pumpkin atop a snow, iron, or copper golem's body.
Why wear a carved pumpkin?
Wearing one restricts your view to the pumpkin's face pattern but prevents endermen from becoming hostile and creakings from freezing when you look at them.
Can I remove a carved pumpkin once worn?
Yes, unless it is enchanted with Curse of Binding, in which case it stays equipped until death — permanently in Hardcore mode.
