}}'''Pumpkins''' are blocks that appear on [[grass]] in a similar manner to [[mushrooms]], but they do not spread. They are found most commonly in [[extreme hills biome]]s and [[plains biome]], but can also appear in [[sand]] and Snow-covered areas, though rarely. They can appear in [[swamp biome]]s as of update [[1.8 - The Bountiful Update|1.8]]. They are usually found in groups but can sometimes be found as one single pumpkin. Natural pumpkins are rarer than [[diamond ore]], most commonly found in mountain and hill biomes. They also can be found in block form in [[woodland mansion]]s. 

As of [[1.13 - The Update Aquatic|1.13]], the pumpkin with the face is known as a carved pumpkin, and the pumpkin with no face is now called a pumpkin, and cannot be equipped as armor.

As of [[1.14 - Village and Pillage|1.14]], pumpkins naturally generate as part of [[pillager outpost]]s.

==Uses==
*Harvested pumpkins can be equipped as a helmet without any actual [[armor]] value. It is unique in that it limits a player's view of the world as if it were seen from inside the pumpkin. The pumpkin helmet can be removed and placed into a player's inventory.
*Although it has no armor value, it can be a serious help during nighttime expeditions: when worn as a helmet, a player may look directly at [[Enderman|Endermen]] with no worry as to whether the enderman will attack a player.
*Pumpkins can be used to make [[Jack o' Lantern|jack o' lanterns]], a decorative item that lights an area up and can be placed underwater.
*As of the aquatic update, pumpkins must be sheared (defaults to right-click) in order to turn them into their carved state. This will yield 1 pumpkin seed.

==Mining==
A Pumpkin can be harvested with any tool or by hand, but using an axe is the fastest way.

==Trivia==
*The pumpkins already have faces carved into them when they grow before the 1.13 update.
*When making golems, a dispenser can place the carved pumpkin and create the golem as a result.
*When worn in the [[Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition]], it has no real use other than aesthetic purposes.
*Pumpkins cannot be placed when there is an [[air]] block below it.
*When a pumpkin is pushed from a piston from below, it will break and a player can collect it.
*Pumpkins cannot be pulled back by [[sticky piston]]s.
*When a player wears a pumpkin in [[the End]], the Endermen will not bother them. However, the disadvantage is that it limits a player's field of vision, which can increase the danger of the [[Ender Dragon]] successfully attacking them.
*Faceless pumpkins used to be an unused block in 1.7 and were later removed then reused in 1.13.
*Pumpkins will always be cut towards the west side of the world.
