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

When broken, a pumpkin stem drops 0–3 pumpkin seeds. The chance for pumpkin seeds to drop increases with the stem's age.

Shearing an uncarved pumpkin yields 4 pumpkin seeds in Java Edition or 1 unit of pumpkin seeds in Bedrock Edition.

Pumpkin seeds can be planted only on farmland, as stems. Over time, a stem grows through several stages[needs testing] and, at its final growth stage, will produce pumpkins on any adjacent dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, grass block, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss block, mud or muddy mangrove roots[needs testing in Bedrock Edition]. 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 stems need a minimum light level of 10 in the block above the stem to grow and give pumpkins. Pumpkin seeds are affected by bone meal only with respect to stem growth; bone meal does not help produce the actual pumpkins.

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.

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

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.

Java Edition Beta1.8Pre-release

Added pumpkin seeds.

Added the pumpkin stem, with seven stages of growth. Pumpkin seeds can be found in the new mineshaft chests.

The pumpkin stem has four slightly visually distinct appearances for each facing direction - the bent part of the stem rotates, but the other two planes do not.

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. Pre-release 2 ;)Pumpkin stems can now be grown faster using bone meal. Java Edition1.3.11.3The texture of pumpkin stems has been moved one pixel to the left in terrain.png.

Stems now appear slightly different.

Overgrown attached pumpkin stems now appear slightly different.

Attached pumpkin stems now appear slightly different.

Overgrown attached pumpkin stems now appear slightly different. 1.4.212w36aChickens now use wheat seeds, melon seeds and pumpkin seeds, instead of wheat to breed. 1.513w02a

Pumpkin stems now use a squished version of their texture for immature stems, depending on age.

This also affects pumpkin stems of ages 8-15, which are likewise stretched to accommodate its predicted size.

Pumpkin stems of extreme ages, which are attached to adjacent fruits, now show a stretched and tinted stem appearance. 13w03a

Pumpkin stems are no longer squished or stretched to account for age.[1]

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 the texture 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 every time new textures are added, which includes when textures added by mods. 13w09a

Pumpkin stems with age values 8 through 15 now show a tinted birch wood texture. 1.6.113w24aMelon and pumpkin stems have now been assigned separate textures.

Pumpkin stems with age values 8 through 15 now show a tinted curving rail texture. 1.7.213w37aAdded 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. 1.814w10a

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

Pumpkin stems now render as a single diagonal plane, or, in the case of attached stems, a diagonal and orthogonal plane.

The attached pumpkin stem model now fully rotates to the direction the stem points. Prior to this update, the base of the pumpkin stem would stay the same while the long attaching section would differ, resulting in four possible attached stem appearances. 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. 14w26a

Pumpkin stems now correctly render as crosses again.[2] 14w27a

Due to a bug, all pumpkin stems now appear attached regardless of age or any actual attachment.[3] 14w28aAll pumpkin stems appearing attached regardless of the age of any actual attachment has been fixed. However, pumpkin stems still appear attached to adjacent fruits regardless of age due to a similar bug.[4] 14w34dPumpkin seeds no longer can be used to breed chickens. 1.915w31aChickens can now use pumpkin seeds to breed again. 15w44aPumpkin seeds have been added to dungeon chests. The average yield of pumpkin seeds in mineshaft chests has been decreased. 15w45aPumpkin stems must now be fully grown again to attach. 1.1116w39aPumpkin seeds are now found in the new woodland mansion chests. Pumpkin stems now generate inside woodland mansions. 1.1317w47aThe different block states for the pumpkin_stem ID have been split up into their own IDs. Pumpkin seeds can now be obtained by shearing an uncarved pumpkin. Prior to The Flattening, this block's numeral ID was 104, and the item's 361. 17w48aAttached pumpkin stems no longer drop seeds. 1.1418w43a

The stem texture has changed.

The pumpkin stem texture change also affects the base cross on pumpkin stems. 18w50aPumpkin stems now generate in the updated taiga village farms. Pumpkin seeds can now be found in chests in taiga village houses. 19w03aPlacing pumpkin seeds into the new composter has a 10% chance of raising the compost level by 1. 19w05aPumpkin seeds now have a 30% chance of increasing the compost level in a composter by 1. Added wandering traders, which sell pumpkin seeds. 1.1519w34aBees can now pollinate pumpkin stems. 19w39aAttached pumpkin stems now drop seeds again.[5] Pocket Edition Alphav0.8.0build 2

How do you get pumpkin seeds easily?

Fill the large bowl with water. Ask your adult to use the sharp, heavy knife to cut around the top of the pumpkin, making a lid with the stem in the middle. Pull the lid off. Using the large metal spoon and your hands, scrape and pull all of the seeds and stringy stuff (this is pulp and fiber) out of the pumpkin.
