Pumpkin seeds are items obtained from pumpkins that can be used to grow pumpkin stems.

Pumpkin stems are plants grown on farmland that, over time, grow pumpkins on dirt, mud, and moss blocks adjacent to them.

Natural generation

Pumpkin stems generate naturally in stem farm rooms in woodland mansions.

Pumpkin stems generate in taiga and snowy taiga‌^{[BE only]} village farms.

Mob loot

In Bedrock Edition, wandering traders have a chance of 25% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 1 pumpkin seeds when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Post-generation

Shearing an uncarved pumpkin yields 4 pumpkin seeds in Java Edition, and 1 in Bedrock Edition.

Usage

Farming

Pumpkin seeds can be planted only on farmland, as stems. Pumpkin stems need a light level of 9 or above to grow (in Bedrock Edition they need at least an internal light level of 9). Over time, a stem grows through several stages and, at its final growth stage, produces pumpkins on any adjacent dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, grass block, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss block, pale moss block, mud, or muddy mangrove roots. If a pumpkin is already occupying a spot adjacent to a stem, it does not grow more pumpkins until the pumpkin is removed. A single stem can grow an unlimited number of pumpkins. Pumpkin seeds are affected by bone meal only with respect to stem growth; bone meal does not help produce the actual pumpkins.

Breeding

Like other seeds, pumpkin seeds can be used to breed chickens, lead chickens around, and make baby chickens grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Taming

Like other seeds, pumpkin seeds can be used to tame parrots.

Composting

Placing pumpkin seeds into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Pumpkin stem

A pumpkin stem is the block that is planted on farmland when pumpkin seeds are used on it. It starts underground, and rises up as the plant grows. The stem is colored green when young, and then yellow once fully grown.

The stem curves once a pumpkin has grown from it. A fully-grown single stem connects to any pumpkin in an adjacent square, thus there are 5 possible appearances to a stem. If there are multiple pumpkins it can connect to, it favors the east, then west, north, and south. When the pumpkin is removed, the stem returns to its straight shape.

Data history

Java Edition

Java Edition Beta
1.8			Pre-release				Pumpkin stem data values from 8 through 15 now show a glitched formation, with a floating stem with an attached stem cross eventually emerging below.
							Pumpkin stem blocks with data values higher than 7 can attach to adjacent fruits, which results in buggy stem textures with vines in the mix due to vines being below attached stems in terrain.png.
Java Edition
1.3.1			1.3				Due to the stem texture change, overgrown pumpkin stems now appear slightly different.
							Overgrown attached pumpkin stems also now appear slightly different.
1.5			13w02a				Like how valid stems are squished, invalid stems are now stretched.
							Pumpkin stems of extreme ages, which are attached to adjacent fruits, now show a stretched and tinted stem appearance.
			13w03a				Pumpkin stems with age values 8 through 15 now show a tinted trapdoor texture.
							From this version up until 14w08a, overgrown pumpkin stems start to draw from the texture below them on blocks-atlas, in much the same way they previously did with terrain.png. However, as texture atlases are unstable and textures tend to change positions as new blocks and textures are added, overgrown stems change the texture they draw from almost every time new textures are added or existing textures are resized.
			13w09a				Pumpkin stems with age values 8 through 15 now show a tinted birch wood texture.
1.6.1			13w24a				Pumpkin stems with age values 8 through 15 now show a tinted curving rail texture.
1.7.2			13w37a				Added the /setblock command, allowing for invalid pumpkin stem ages to be placed in the world without using external editors. This also allows them to be obtained in earlier versions via backdating.
			13w41a				Pumpkin stems with age values 8 through 15 now show a tinted lit furnace texture.
			13w43a				Pumpkin stems with age values 8 through 15 now show a tinted pumpkin top texture.
1.8			14w10a				Pumpkin stems with data values 8-11 now display a tinted attached stem, with 8 facing west, 9 facing east, 10 facing north and 11 facing south.
							Invalid pumpkin stems with data values 12-15 now crash the game.
			14w25a				Invalid overgrown pumpkin stems have now effectively been removed from the game, as attempting to place an out of range stem via /setblock creates a stem of age 0 and loading a world with existing such stems cause a game crash.
1.13			17w47a				The different block states for the pumpkin_stem ID have been split up into their own IDs.
							Prior to The Flattening, this block's numeral ID was 104, and the item's 361.
1.17			21w19a				minecraft:pumpkin_stem and minecraft:attached_pumpkin_stem have been added to the newly-implemented #minecraft:mineable/axe block tag. This, however, has no effect in-game, since the block breaks instantly anyway regardless of tool used or active effects. Prior to this update, pumpkin seeds were hardcoded to have axes as the preferred tool.
1.21.5			25w10a				minecraft:pumpkin_stem and minecraft:attached_pumpkin_stem has been removed from the block tags #minecraft:mineable/axe and #minecraft:sword_efficient.

Bedrock Edition

Pocket Edition Alpha
v0.10.0			?				Pumpkin stems with invalid data values would display the repeater texture.
v0.16.0			?				Pumpkin stems with data values 8 - 15 would display a glitched texture.

• 
  The final version of the pumpkin stem with age 15, as seen in-game.
• 
  Pumpkin stems of ages 1 to 15 on a modded version of 1.7.2, hence the nearby melon stems using the melon top texture.
• 
  All 16 stem sizes in 13w02a, with accompanying data values.
