Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds are an item in Minecraft primarily used to grow pumpkin stems. Pumpkin stems are plants grown on farmland that, over time, grow pumpkins on adjacent dirt, mud, or moss blocks. Breaking a pumpkin stem yields 0-3 pumpkin seeds, with the chance increasing as the stem matures. Pumpkin seeds can be obtained by crafting a pumpkin into 4 pumpkin seeds; natural generation in stem farm rooms in woodland mansions, and farms in taiga and snowy taiga villages; or finding them in chests in abandoned mineshafts. They can also be purchased from wandering traders for 1 emerald. Players can also obtain seeds by shearing uncarved pumpkins, yielding 4 seeds in Java Edition and 1 in Bedrock Edition. Pumpkin seeds can be planted on farmland, where they grow into pumpkin stems that produce pumpkins on surrounding blocks, growing indefinitely with sufficient light. Pumpkin seeds can also be used to breed chickens, tame parrots and compost. Furthermore, pumpkin seeds are also a necessary ingredient for making pumpkin pie.
