A Carved Pumpkin is a decorative block that can be worn as a helmet or used to spawn golems. It is created by using shears on a regular pumpkin placed in the world. Carved pumpkins generate naturally in woodland mansions and pillager outposts as part of scarecrows.
They can also be obtained by shearing a snow golem, which removes the pumpkin from its head. When worn as a helmet, it obscures the player's view with a carved pattern and prevents Endermen from becoming hostile when looked at. It can also be placed on armor stands or equipped using dispensers.
Carved pumpkins are essential for building Snow Golems and Iron Golems. They must be placed last when assembling a golem for it to spawn. They can be used to craft Jack o'Lanterns, composted for a chance to increase compost levels, and enchanted with Curse of Binding or Curse of Vanishing using an anvil.
