Description
A Carved Pumpkin is a decorative block that looks like a hollowed out pumpkin with a carved face and it is a popular seasonal decoration and functional item. You make a carved pumpkin by carving a whole pumpkin which removes the top and turns it into a decorative block that can be placed on the ground or used as a wearable helmet. Carved Pumpkins are a favourite for Halloween themed builds and for farmhouse style decorations where a rustic harvest look is desired. When worn as a helmet the carved pumpkin hides the player view but also prevents hostile piglins from attacking in the Nether under certain game rules and helps during certain farm setups where mob behaviour matters. Players use carved pumpkins in automated farms as golems and as part of redstone setups and scarecrow style decorations. They are easy to make and they add a playful visual element to farms and to seasonal events across multiplayer servers because players can craft many and distribute them around towns and gathering places.
