Minecraft:Carved Pumpkin

From SAS Gaming Wiki
Revision as of 15:41, 9 April 2026 by SyncBot (talk | contribs) (Remove broken links to missing pages)

Template:Infobox block A carved pumpkin is a Minecraft:block obtained by Template:Control Minecraft:shears on a Minecraft:pumpkin. It is used to craft jack o'lanterns, build golems, and can be worn as a Minecraft:helmet.

Obtaining

Breaking

Carved pumpkins can be mined using any tool, but Minecraft:axes are the quickest way.

Template:Breaking row

When a carved pumpkin is pushed by a Minecraft:piston, it breaks and drops as an item. It cannot be pulled.

Natural generation

Carved pumpkins generate in rail rooms in woodland mansions, as well as in pillager outposts as a part of scarecrows.

Mob loot

The carved pumpkin of a snow golem can be obtained by shearing its head, revealing the golem's face. The carved pumpkin cannot be put back on the golem.

Post-generation

A carved pumpkin (and 4 pumpkin seeds Template:In or 1 unit of pumpkin seeds Template:In) is obtained by Template:Control Minecraft:shears on an uncarved pumpkin. Once carved, a pumpkin cannot be changed back to uncarved. This changes the rotation of the top texture.Template:Only<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Usage

When placed, a carved pumpkin automatically faces the player. However, Template:In the stems are directional, meaning the stem will point towards the face, while Template:In the stems are non-directional, meaning the stems always face northwest just like normal pumpkins.

Template:Crafting usage

Helmet

A carved pumpkin can be equipped as a helmet without any actual Minecraft:armor value. When worn, it limits the player's viewing area to a mask pattern that resembles the pumpkin's carved face. The pattern does not appear when using the third-person view (toggled by Template:Key by default). Template:IN, it also doesn't appear when the Minecraft:heads-up display is disabled by pressing Template:Key.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

A player wearing a carved pumpkin does not aggravate endermen or freeze creakings when looking at them. Wearing a carved pumpkin makes the player invisible to other players on a locator Minecraft:map and locator bar.

Template:IN, the following entities will visually appear as wearing a carved pumpkin if summoned as such with Minecraft:commands: Template:Columns-list

Dispensers

Minecraft:Dispensers can equip a carved pumpkin on a player, mob or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing. It can also place the carved pumpkin as a block, if a snow, iron, or copper golem can be spawned after the pumpkin is placed.

Building golems

Copper golem

Carved pumpkins can be used to make snow golems, iron golems, and copper golems as shown below. Snow golems require snow blocks for their bodies, iron golems require iron blocks, and copper golems require copper blocks. The carved pumpkin must be placed last or the golem does not spawn. The orientation of the carved pumpkin does not matter while building any golem.

Enchantments

Carved pumpkins can receive the following enchantments, but only through an Minecraft:anvil.

Name Max level Method
Curse of Binding I Template:BlockLink
Curse of Vanishing I Template:BlockLink

Composting

Placing a carved pumpkin into a Minecraft:composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Note blocks

Carved pumpkins do not produce didgeridoo sounds when placed under a note block, unlike regular pumpkins.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb carved pumpkins, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the golf ball/fast flat effect to the mob when hitting it.

Trivia

  • The carved pumpkin is the only headgear that obstructs the player's view.
  • The function of using the carved pumpkin as a headgear might be a reference to the web-comic "Jailbreak" where one of the main characters carved a pumpkin that got stuck on his head to see.
  • A carved pumpkin enchanted with Curse of Binding cannot be removed from a player's helmet slot unless the player dies, since it does not lose durability like armor does.
    • In Hardcore mode, such a carved pumpkin effectively stays on the player forever.
