A jack o'lantern is a variant of pumpkin that emits light, and can be used to build golems.
Jack o'lanterns are best mined with an axe.
Jack o'lanterns can spawn within taiga villages in piles of pumpkins that also generate there.
A jack o'lantern emits more light than the torch used to craft it, emitting the highest light level of 15. They also provide light while submerged under water. Like most light sources, they melt snow and ice.
Note: Unlike most other blocks that emit light level 15, jack o'lanterns are a valid block to spawn on for mobs that ignore light level.
Jack o'lanterns can be used to build snow golems, iron golems, and copper golems as shown below. Snow golems require 2 snow blocks for their bodies, iron golems require 4 iron blocks, and copper golems require 1 copper block. The jack o'lantern must be placed last or the golem cannot spawn.
Jack o'lanterns can be placed without a block under them. When placed, jack o'lanterns automatically face the player. Jack o'lanterns can be placed on a transparent block. 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.
Jack o'lanterns are transparent in their rendering only; otherwise, they share the attributes of all opaque solid blocks. For example, mobs can spawn on them, they can suffocate mobs, and blocks attached to another block (such as torches and rails) can be placed on top of them or on their sides.
Unlike a carved pumpkin, a jack o'lantern cannot be worn.
Jack o'lanterns are destroyed when pushed by pistons, and cannot be pulled by sticky pistons.
