How to Plant Pumpkins in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how to start a pumpkin patch in Minecraft? You’re in luck because we’re diving into the simple steps to plant pumpkins in the game.
Let’s get straight into how you can grow your own pumpkins in Minecraft, transforming your game world with these versatile blocks.
Quick Guide to Planting Pumpkins
First off, you’ll need pumpkin seeds. You can find these by either breaking pumpkin blocks in the game world or by finding them in chests. Once you have your seeds, it’s planting time!
Choose a nice spot of land. Make sure it’s near water or manually place water with a bucket to hydrate the soil. Till the land using a hoe, then right-click (or tap, depending on your device) on the tilled soil to plant your pumpkin seeds. Remember, pumpkin plants need some space because the stem grows into a block next to the plant when the pumpkin appears.
Watching Your Pumpkins Grow
Pumpkin seeds go through several growth stages. You don’t need to do much except wait and make sure the plants are well-lit and hydrated. If you want to speed up the growth, you can use bone meal as fertilizer.
Once fully grown, a pumpkin will appear next to the stem on a free block of dirt, grass, or farmland. If you’re planning a grand pumpkin patch, leave enough space around each plant.
