User blog:Deter2/Pumpkins! the new wood

pumpkins are great especially on hardmode. you can run out of wood quickly and there isn't much a place to plant them, if you plant them too close they won't grow. wood armor sucks, and cacti isn't grown too fast. pumpkins however can do anything some wood does. it is stronger, it can easily build homes, it is easy to plant, and the armor actually gives 15% extra damage. if you actually need wood, get a metal detector and find chest, there is a great chance you will actually find some wood. to plant both trees and pumpkins easy get a staff of regrowth and place dirt at least 30 blocks wide and one block high. grow grass on it and place pumpkin and acorns on it.
