Plant

Pumpkin growth stages.

Pumpkin plants can be planted manually on normal and Hallowed grass (including the mowed versions) with Pumpkin Seeds, which are sold by the Dryad. They also grow naturally on the Surface during the Halloween seasonal event. Pumpkin plants can be harvested using almost any weapon or tool, which causes Pumpkin items to drop.

Pumpkin Seeds need a clear space of at least 2×2 to grow.[1]

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

Notes

  • Pumpkin growth consists of five stages. A Pumpkin plant will not yield Pumpkins during the first two stages (i.e., while it is fully green). More Pumpkins will be harvested in later stages:
Stage Drop chance Drop amount Avg. yield
1 n/a
2 n/a
3 1/2 (50%) 1–2 0.75
4 100% 2–5 3.5
5 100% 5–10 7.5
  • Harvesting Pumpkins will not yield Pumpkin Seeds.
  • Pumpkins can only grow on pure and Hallowed grass (including their mowed versions). However, due to the biome spread of the evil biomes, it is possible for Pumpkins to be on Corrupt/Crimson grass.
  • A Pumpkin can only grow naturally if there are at most five other Pumpkins within 100 tiles horizontally and vertically.[2] This means that the maximum density of naturally generated Pumpkins in a 200×200-tile square is five.
    • This restriction does not apply during Halloween.
  • Pumpkins can grow in front of background walls.
  • Pumpkins can be harvested by any means (such as Actuators) in order to obtain the Magical Pumpkin Seed.
  • Like most plants that grow on grass, Pumpkins cannot grow on bare dirt.
  • Fully grown Pumpkins are destroyed when hitting them with a weapon, tool, or projectile.[3]
    • Growing Pumpkins, however, are not broken when hit.
  • The Staff of Regrowth cannot be used to harvest and destroy naturally grown Pumpkins.Verify

Tips

  • An easy way to farm Pumpkins during the Halloween season is to place strips of grass with Dart Traps firing just above them to destroy anything naturally growing on top of the grass. This will allow Pumpkins to grow instead, as Dart Traps do not destroy Pumpkins.
  • Making a new world during Halloween can give the player an advantage in the early game, as Pumpkins spawn naturally during the season, and the Pumpkin armor made from them provides a relatively high defense of 7, and 10% increased damage on top.
  • Growing Pumpkins from seeds is not profitable; during Halloween, naturally-spawned pumpkins are best sold as candelabras.

History

  • Desktop 1.3.4.2: Fixed a bug where pumpkin plants got cut when swinging nearby items or projectiles at them.
  • 3DS-Release: Introduced alongside all corresponding furniture and items up to Desktop 1.2.4.
