Pumpkin growth stages.

The Pumpkin is a crafting material that grows naturally randomly on grass on the surface during the Halloween and Oktoberfest(3DS version) seasonal events. Pumpkins can be planted manually by the player year-round by purchasing Pumpkin Seeds from the Dryad NPC and placing them on grass on the surface.

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

Pumpkin Seeds each require two blocks width and two blocks height to grow Pumpkins.

Notes

• A Pumpkin plant will yield Pumpkins in any stage except while it is fully green. The bigger it is, the more Pumpkins will be harvested.
  • Harvesting a fully grown plant will yield 7-8 Pumpkins on average.
  • Growing pumpkins from seed is not profitable; during Halloween naturally-spawned pumpkins can best be sold as candelabras.
• Harvesting Pumpkins will not yield Pumpkin Seeds (except possibly the Magical Pumpkin Seed pet). These seeds can only be bought from the Dryad.
• Pumpkins can only grow on pure and Hallowed grass, not on any other type of grass. 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. This means that the maximum density of naturally generated Pumpkins in a 200×200-tile rectangle is five.
• The Staff of Regrowth cannot be used to harvest and destroy naturally grown Pumpkins.
• Pumpkins can only grow on the surface layer.
• 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.
• Even when manually planted with Pumpkin Seeds bought from the Dryad, no Pumpkin can grow on dirt, only grass. The Staff of Regrowth can be used to grow grass on dirt.
• (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Fully grown Pumpkins are destroyed when swinging a weapon or tool nearby, or hitting them with a projectile.
  • Growing Pumpkins, however, are not dislodged when hit.
  • On the  Old-gen console version and Nintendo 3DS version, fully grown Pumpkins are not dislodged when hit.

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.
  • Dedicated farming, like with this method, may cause the Magical Pumpkin Seed to be obtained much faster.
• It may be a good idea to start farming Pumpkins in pre-Hardmode so the player has access to a stock of Pumpkins for Pumpkin Moon Medallions in Hardmode.
• Making a new world during Halloween can give the player an edge in the early game, as Pumpkins spawn naturally, and the Pumpkin armor made from them can last all the way until the Eye of Cthulhu.
