Jack o'Lantern

4Block states
1Properties
YesItem form

The Jack o'Lantern is a block that players make by combining a Carved Pumpkin with a Torch. It can be placed facing different directions, so its carved face can point wherever the builder wants.

An axe is the proper tool for chopping it, and breaking it drops the Jack o'Lantern itself so it can be set down again elsewhere.
