Pale Pumpkins
by ZloyGvozd
Players exploring the Pale Garden find pale pumpkins there, and the Fabric mod Pale Pumpkins adds ways to throw them and wear them for calmer Pillagers.
What it does
Pale Pumpkins places pale pumpkins in the Pale Garden biome of vanilla worlds. Pale pumpkins can be sheared and carved the same way as regular pumpkins, and the mod adds a polished pale core block and a few other small additions tied to the pale theme.
The pumpkins double as simple gear. A pale pumpkin can be thrown, and a hit deals damage to enemies. Wearing a carved pale pumpkin as a head item makes nearby Pillagers stop attacking the player, which changes how raids and patrols play out around the biome.
The mod runs on the client and server, so both sides need it. Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin are required and must be installed alongside Pale Pumpkins. Files are published for Fabric only, for game version 26.2, with 1.3.5 as the latest file. The source code is released under the MIT License, so the mod is open source.
Key features
Pale pumpkins in the Pale Garden
The biome generates pale pumpkins naturally, so players find them while exploring the pale forest.
Throwable pale pumpkins
Pale pumpkins can be tossed as a simple ranged attack that damages enemies on hit.
Pillager Pacifier head item
Wearing a carved pale pumpkin calms nearby Pillagers, which stop attacking while the player keeps it on.
Shearing and carving
Pale pumpkins shear and carve like regular pumpkins, so existing carving habits still apply.
Polished Pale Core block
A polished pale core block is added as a decorative block that matches the pale theme.
