What you’ll build

Get spooky (or cute) for Halloween. You'll carve pumpkins with shears, turn them into glowing jack o'lanterns at the crafting table, and line your paths and doors with them. Add cobwebs and candles, then wait for night and lead a family member on a spooky walk.

Finish line: Carved pumpkins and glowing jack o'lanterns decorate your village, ready for a night tour.

Bonus challenge: Put a carved pumpkin on your head (in the helmet slot) and look around. What changes?

You’ll need

  • Pumpkins
  • Shears
  • Torches
  • Crafting table
  • Cobwebs and candles

You choose

  • Spooky level (cute, a bit spooky, or mixed)
  • Which builds get decorated
  • A costume idea for your pet

Stuck?

  • Face on the wrong side? The face is carved on the side you tap, so face the pumpkin from the front.
  • Jack o'lantern recipe not working? Use a carved pumpkin, not a plain one, with the torch below it.
  • Need it dark? Wait for night, or set the time with cheats turned on.
