Decorating Farms and Gardens with Friendly Pumpkins and Jack o'Lanterns

Carving and Lighting Friendly Pumpkins

Regular, uncarved pumpkins that grow on stems keep their standard vanilla appearance because the pack only alters carved variants. To get the sweet smiling face, place or find a grown pumpkin block, hold Shears in your main hand, and right-click any side of the pumpkin. The block immediately turns into a Carved Pumpkin displaying the new happy design on the side you clicked, while dropping pumpkin seeds. To create a glowing block for nighttime lighting, open a crafting grid and place one Carved Pumpkin directly above one Torch to craft a Jack o'Lantern.

Placing Smiles Around Your Builds

Both Carved Pumpkins and Jack o'Lanterns always place with their friendly face pointing directly toward your character. Stand along the garden path or viewing angle where you want the smile to face before placing the block on grass, snow, or tree leaves. Jack o'Lanterns emit full light just as they do in vanilla Minecraft, letting you brighten crop farms, village paths, and snowy builds at night with a welcoming look instead of a creepy stare. You can also place a smiling Carved Pumpkin onto snow or iron blocks when building golems.
