From GamersLance, we want to explain how to carve a pumpkin in Minecraft. In this single player video game, where you can create Crystal, Iron and Silicon, among others, now on Halloween (and not only then) you can carve Pumpkins. In this post we will also explain how you can plant them in the Ground or how to get them. Stick around to find out.
Whether the spooky season is upon us or you live this spooky life 365 days a year, there's no doubt you'll want to bring a lot of that Halloween love into the games you play. In Minecraft, you can do this by carving pumpkins.
Getting pumpkins
Pumpkins are naturally occurring in many different biomes, and can sometimes be found on village farms as well. You can also obtain pumpkin seeds from chests that you can find in dungeons, mine shafts or other pre-generated structures.
To grow a pumpkin from seeds, you must have an open space next to where the seeds were planted.
Face/Gourd Carving
Once you have found or grown your own pumpkin, you don't need a craft bench to carve it. You can carve it right out of the ground. All you have to do is use sheer curtains and poke the pumpkin the same way you would a sheep.
Once you have polished your pumpkin, two eyes and a wiggly mouth will appear on your now carved pumpkin. You will also receive a stack of 4 pumpkin seeds.
You can use it as a decoration or even wear it on your head as a pumpkin mask. Wearing a carved pumpkin on your head will partially block your vision, but will also prevent you from making eye contact with the endermens.
Jack o'Lanterns
If you are decorating pumpkins, you can also light them with a torch. Place a torch on the bottom row of your square or work table, then place the carved pumpkin directly on top.
This will allow you to create a Jack o'Lantern that will turn yellow inside and block it with a light at level 15 (one higher than a regular torch).
Mix and match your pumpkins, carved pumpkins and Jack o'Lanterns for the perfect Halloween look in Minecraft.
How to get pumpkins in Minecraft
Pumpkins are rare blocks that you can find in most biomes in the main world. They appear naturally mainly in low grassy environments and near water intakes.
You will rarely see a pumpkin in the sand, as long as there are blocks of grass nearby. Due to their rarity, in most cases you will come across these items purely by chance during your exploration rounds. When this happens, they can be obtained with any tool, even by hand, although it is faster with an axe.
There are other ways to obtain pumpkins in a "natural" way. The first method is to look for a nearby village and find a farmer. They usually exchange 8-13 pumpkins for 1 emerald.
There is also the possibility of obtaining a carved pumpkin by killing a creature that wears it as a helmet. In general, zombies, creepers, skeletons and other creatures usually appear with one of these objects at Halloween time. Finally, we tell you that you can also find these objects in the forest mansion.
Now, because of their rarity, it is certainly best to grow pumpkins in your garden. This will save you valuable time and energy, as well as maximize your production.

How Long it Takes to Collect Pumpkins
The first thing will be to get the seeds. To do this, place a block of pumpkin on your workbench. You will get 4 seeds per block. The second step is to create a vegetable garden.
To do this, dig a row of water between the grass blocks; then plow the soil with a hoe (when you have this tool in your hand, left-click while aiming at a grass block); finally, wait for the soil to hydrate. You will see it turn a dark color.
Once the garden is finished, you will need to plant the pumpkin seed in a block of grass adjacent to the water. These fruits (yes, pumpkins are fruits) have the particularity that they do not grow where they are planted, but in a nearby block.
After planting them, you have to wait 10 to 30 minutes to get the fruit, although you can also use bone or bee powder to speed up the process. Although pumpkin seeds are hard to find, this does not mean that they are one of the best seeds in Minecraft.
When the pumpkin appears, we advise you not to break the block where you have planted the seed, because after a short time another plant will grow back without having to wait for the main stem to grow back.
It is very easy to grow pumpkins in Minecraft. In addition to being food, with these fruits you can create interesting and, in some cases, delicious objects. Here are some of them.
