Minecraft Jack o'Lantern PNG

The Jack o'Lantern exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Functional” tab.

Sizes and quality

The Jack o'Lantern render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

Minecraft jack o'lantern: light and golems

A jack o'lantern is a carved pumpkin with a torch inside, and it gives more light than the torch itself: level 15, the maximum. It also lights up underwater and, like most light sources, melts nearby snow and ice. An axe breaks it fastest.

It builds three golems, always placed last: a snow golem on two snow blocks, an iron golem on four iron blocks and a copper golem on one copper block. Place it before the body is complete and no golem appears.

It has practical advantages. It can be placed with nothing underneath, and although it renders partly see-through, in every other way it is a solid block: you can put torches or rails on it. That makes it handy for decorative floor and wall lighting.

Two things to know. Unlike a carved pumpkin, you cannot wear it on your head. And unlike other level-15 light blocks, mobs that ignore light can spawn on it, so it will not stop every kind of spawn. Pistons break it.
