Pumpkins are commonly generated in plain, forest, and mountain biomes.  Usually they will generate in groups rather than just one.  A neat feature of pumpkins is the ability to wear them. They prevent [[endermen]] from becoming enraged by you by looking at them. To wear a pumpkin, place it in the head portion of the armor slots in the inventory.

===Helmet===

The pumpkin, like the [[jack o' lantern]], can be placed in the helmet slot.

It does not provide any armor protection, however it does allow [[the player]] to look at an [[enderman]] without aggravating it.

===Carving===
 +
It is possible to change the carving of a pumpkin by shift clicking on it with [[shears]]. This cycles to the next of the ten possible carvings, eventually going back to the uncarved texture.

Found naturally:Yes
Identifier:pumpkin

The pumpkin is a block that sometimes generates on grass in plains, forest, and mountain biomes. It can be carved to give it a face.

Obtaining

Pumpkins can be mined with anything, but axes are the quickest. Any carved pumpkin will drop the regular, uncarved pumpkin, even if mined with a tool enchanted with silk touch.

When pushed by a piston, the pumpkin will drop as an item.

Natural generation

Pumpkins sometimes generate in small patches on the surface in plains, forest, and mountain biomes. When a pumpkin generates, it usually have the uncarved texture, however there is a small chance of it spawning with the first carving, and an even smaller chance of it spawning with the third carving.

Farming

A fully grown pumpkin stem will spawn a pumpkin either side of it every so often, as long as it does not already have one next to it.

Usage

When placed, the pumpkin will have the default, uncarved texture, however, like in generation, there is a small chance of it spawning with the first carving, and an even smaller chance of it spawning with the third carving.

Helmet

The pumpkin, like the jack o' lantern, can be placed in the helmet slot. Unlike regular armor, the player cannot simply shift click while holding it in their hand, because this would place it as a block. It does not provide any armor protection, however it does allow the player to look at an enderman without aggravating it. While the pumpkin is on the player's head, a transparent pumpkin face appears on the screen. This face is the first possible carving out of the ten, and there is currently no way of changing this. This is also the face of the pumpkin that is seen on the player.

Snow golem

In order to spawn a snow golem, a pumpkin must be placed on top of two snow blocks. The pumpkin on the snow golem's head is a less detailed version of the first pumpkin carving, and there is currently no way of changing this.

Carving

It is possible to change the carving of a pumpkin by shift clicking on it with shears. This cycles to the next of the ten possible carvings, eventually going back to the uncarved texture. Carving a pumpkin does not use up the shears' durability, which makes sense because there is no way of keeping the carving after the pumpkin is broken and collected.

Crafting ingredient

A pumpkin can be crafted into a pumpkin seed.
