🎃It's Spooky Season!🎃

This datapack allows you to carve your very own custom carved pumpkins!

Carving a pumpkin is very simple: all you need to do is get a regular Minecraft pumpkin, and right-click it using any Sword. You can carve every single voxel in the pumpkin individually! If that's too much of a hassle for you, you can carve a 2x2x2 cube of voxels using any Axe.

If you've made a mistake, there's no need to worry. You can fill in a hole by right-clicking with Pumpkin Seeds. Doing this will consume one item for every voxel you refill, so be careful where you cut!

Custom pumpkins can be picked up and placed back down again, and will retain all information in their item form. You can even wear them on your head!

I hope you enjoy this pack. Happy Halloween!
