About Jack o'Lantern

The Jack o'Lantern is a solid, glowing block that acts like a stronger torch. It gives off light level 15, the same as glowstone and lanterns, and one level brighter than a regular torch. Because it is a full block, you can use it as a sturdy lamp, path light, or building detail, and it prevents hostile mobs from spawning nearby.

It also works as a golem head. You can use one in place of a carved pumpkin when building a snow golem or an iron golem.

How to get Jack o'Lantern

You can craft one by combining a carved pumpkin with a torch in a crafting grid. First, use shears on a normal pumpkin to carve it, then add the torch. This is the main way to get one.

You may also find them already placed as lights in some taiga and snowy taiga villages, so keep an eye out while exploring those colder villages.
