A carved pumpkin is a block obtained by using shears on a pumpkin. It is used to craft jack o'lanterns, build golems, and can be worn as a helmet.

Carved pumpkins can be mined using any tool, but axes are the quickest way.

When a carved pumpkin is pushed by a piston, it breaks and drops as an item. It cannot be pulled.

Carved pumpkins generate in rail rooms in woodland mansions, as well as in pillager outposts as a part of scarecrows.

The carved pumpkin of a snow golem can be obtained by shearing its head, revealing the golem's face. The carved pumpkin cannot be put back on the golem.

A carved pumpkin (and 4 pumpkin seeds in Java Edition or 1 unit of pumpkin seeds in Bedrock Edition) is obtained by using shears on an uncarved pumpkin. Once carved, a pumpkin cannot be changed back to uncarved. This changes the rotation of the top texture.‌^{[Java Edition only][1]}

When placed, a carved pumpkin automatically faces the player. However, in Java Edition the stems are directional, meaning the stem will point towards the face, while in Bedrock Edition the stems are non-directional, meaning the stems always face northwest just like normal pumpkins.

A carved pumpkin can be equipped as a helmet without any actual armor value. When worn, it limits the player's viewing area to a mask pattern that resembles the pumpkin's carved face. The pattern does not appear when using the third-person view (toggled by by default). In Java Edition, it also doesn't appear when the heads-up display is disabled by pressing .^[2]

A player wearing a carved pumpkin does not aggravate endermen or freeze creakings when looking at them. Wearing a carved pumpkin makes the player invisible to other players on a locator map and locator bar.

In Java Edition, the following entities will visually appear as wearing a carved pumpkin if summoned as such with commands:

Dispensers can equip a carved pumpkin on a player, mob or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing. It can also place the carved pumpkin as a block, if a snow, iron, or copper golem can be spawned after the pumpkin is placed.

Carved pumpkins can be used to make snow golems, iron golems, and copper golems as shown below. Snow golems require snow blocks for their bodies, iron golems require iron blocks, and copper golems require copper blocks. The carved pumpkin must be placed last or the golem does not spawn. The orientation of the carved pumpkin does not matter while building any golem.

Carved pumpkins can receive the following enchantments, but only through an anvil.

Placing a carved pumpkin into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Issues relating to "Carved Pumpkin" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

• The carved pumpkin is the only headgear that obstructs the player's view.
• The function of using the carved pumpkin as a headgear might be a reference to the web-comic "Jailbreak" where one of the main characters carved a pumpkin that got stuck on his head to see.
• A carved pumpkin enchanted with Curse of Binding cannot be removed from a player's helmet slot unless the player dies, since it does not lose durability like armor does.
  • In Hardcore mode, such a carved pumpkin effectively stays on the player forever.
