Pumpkin



Pumpkins are a crafting material that grow on grass on the surface. They can be planted manually by the player year-round by purchasing Pumpkin Seeds from the Dryad NPC and placing them on grass on the surface. They also grow naturally randomly on grass during the Halloween and seasonal events.

Harvesting fully grown Pumpkins during the Halloween season will rarely yield a Magical Pumpkin Seed, which is used to summon the Squashling pet.

Pumpkin Seeds each require two blocks width and two blocks height to grow Pumpkins.

Tips

 * It may be a good idea to start farming Pumpkins in pre-Hardmode so the player has access to a stock of Pumpkins for Pumpkin Moon Medallions in Hardmode.
 * Making a new world during Halloween can give the player an edge in the early game, as Pumpkins spawn naturally, and the Pumpkin armor made from them can last all the way until the Eye of Cthulhu.
