It takes a while for the stem to mature, but after you get your first one, they grow quicker. You do need water within four blocks, and the dirt around the stem needs to be hoed.
So I was working on this really cool resource pack a while ago, but bad progress nonwithstanding, I think I found something much better... I'm probably gonna never release another custom Minecraft map.Until we meet again...
Another thing to note is that, in a sense, all things grow twice as fast when torches are placed around them. This is because the light from touches acts as a light supply when it turns night time, and growing does not progress at night because there is no potent light source. Just thought this is good to know, since it will help them grow faster.
1. The stem takes awhile to grow (wouldn't be surprised if it was 2 hours).
2. The more squares around the stem that are available for pumpkins to grow (up to 4), the faster the pumpkin will grow.
3. You need an air block above the block that the pumpkin would occupy if it grew there.
4. You need water (this one should be obvious) 4 blocks away from the pumpkin at most (diagonals count as 1 block, not 2).

Or maybe a stalk should grow continuously outwards and make eventually growing mini pumpkins appear.

What is everyone's problem!? FAIL IS A VERB.

Um, pumpkins in Minecraft grow the exact same way they do in real life. So you must think real life pumpkins are stupid as well.... :mellow.gif:
