Minecraft: How to Make a Jack O’ Lantern

Making a Minecraft jack o’ lantern is well worth the trouble. With just a few ingredients at the crafting table, you can make an item that’s not only cool as a decoration, but creates quite a lot of light for such a small pumpkin. The recipe to craft a jack o’ lantern hasn’t changed in Minecraft 1.19, and we don’t expect Mojang to change it in the future.

How to craft a Minecraft jack o’ lantern

Crafting a jack o’ lantern requires that you gather three items together:

  1. Gather 1 pumpkin – Any biome that has grass can spawn pumpkins, which are usually found in groups around trees.
  2. Create 1 shear – Take two iron ingots, which you can craft from iron ore blocks and wood in a furnace, and put them into the 3×3 crafting grid to make a pair or shears.
  3. Craft 1 torch – Combine a stick and a chunk of charcoal.
  4. Make a Carved Pumpkin – Right-click a pumpkin with a pair of shears to craft a Carved Pumpkin. A spooky face will appear on the block.
  5. Create a Jack o’ Lantern – Combine a Carved Pumpkin and a torch.

The jack o’ lantern emits a lot of light, which is great for scaring off monsters at night, and can be hung on a wall or a roof. In fact, jack o’ lanterns are one of the easiest ways to light up a room, in case you want to make a slime farm or something like that.
