Is the only way to start a pumpkin farm by finding the seeds in a chest? I'm seeing they didn't add pumpkins to the crafting menu to get the seeds out. Guess I saved my pumpkins for nothing.
Don't know, I haven't explored a whole lot of my map, but I have found brown mushrooms in my swamp area, some sugar cane, and some huge mountains.
I'm just not sure if we can extract the seeds from pumpkins as it's not in the crafting menu where the melons are. I'd rather start the pumpkins near me and use them for jack-o-lanterns.
Never mind, I think I found what I was looking for.....the seeds are in the chest of Abandoned Mineshafts.....and we aren't able to craft the pumpkins for seeds as of now.
There is not pumpkin what so ever in the crafting menu... So recipes on the wiki don't really help much with the xbox version, as all those menus are preset to each recipe.

My First World, always getting back to is a pleasure I enjoy with each new update that brings in more things to add in.
Yeah, I also noticed you can't craft seeds from pumpkins yet. Makes me sad >_<
Same here. I was hoping to have a farm in my new village growing each of the plants! I wonder when they'll add in the ability for us to make pumpkin seeds?
Just to let everyone know, you will never be bale to craft pumpkins. I'm not sure where you got the idea that you could, but it's not even possible on the PC.
The only crafting that can be done with pumpkins is making Jack O Lanterns, and crafting seeds out of a pumpkin.

Whoa, chill... re-read great Mustached One... they are talking about crafting pumpkin seeds and then growing the pumpkins.
The ability to craft the seeds wasn't added until 1.0 on the PC, so we will probably get that in 1.2.3. I was hoping a little that it would be something they would bring forward this time around, but... oh well, a pumpkin farm will have to wait. I just have to hope that just 3 pumpkins will be enough to avoid provoking endermen until 1.2.3 rolls around. It's better than none.
UpUp is correct, not crafting pumpkins, but getting the seeds from the pumpkins using crafting table.
So, when you plant the seeds, and the pumpkin grows, you harvest the pumpkin and leave the stalk and another pumpkin will grow, correct?
If I find pumpkins somewhere, and I harvest the stalk, are you guarenteed getting back 1 pumpkin seed in return? Or is there a % of times to get back the seed? I may not even need the ability to craft for seeds, will have to see what the regrow rates are.

Yeah, I misread. It's not hard to find pumpkin seeds though.
They'll spawn in Abandoned Mine Shafts chests and Dungeon chests.

Of course, that's if you have unexplored areas in your world for the mine shafts to go; but I don't... so it means do without or go into creative.
I think both are viable options for me. I'll probably use up the 3 pumpkins I have on my head (for endermen) and then if I die with them on and run out before I'm done with this old world, I'll pop into creative and get some seeds. I do plan on avoiding Creative as long as possible... no reasons really... just 'cause. No worries.
So, I found some pumpkins on my map this morning.......They have no stalks. Question I have is if you find seeds in a chest somewhere, and you plant them, are they going to grow the stalks or just grow a pumpkin without the stalks? This could be a problem without being able to craft the seeds from the pumpkins themselves. And no, I'm not going to creative and back and forth.
Anyone that has found seeds and planted them, let me know how they grow.
I found pumpkin seeds, planted them, they grew into stalks and then a pumpkin appeared, if you chop the pumpkin, the stalk remains and you can grow many others, if you chop the stalk it reverts to a seed, but only one seed
Thanks for that confirmation. Good to know. Now I just gotta find that mineshaft somewhere.
could we get them on maps before the update without the need to go creative ?
If you have unexplored portions of your map then its possible (key word possible) for you to get seeds. However if you've fully explored a map then you'll need to go creative to get pumpkin seeds.

This is the xbox so that is redundant....
