Pumpkin heads all year round
by s0lar1te
Pumpkin heads all year round changes when carved pumpkins and jack o'lanterns appear on undead mobs, which normally only happens around Halloween.
What it does
Certain humanoid undead mobs gain a small chance to spawn wearing a carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern on any day of the year, not only on October 31. The chance is set to be 365 times rarer on ordinary days than in the vanilla Halloween period, so the change stays uncommon. The server needs the mod, while players may add it or leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for 1.21.11 – 26.3, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Year-round pumpkin spawns
Undead mobs can appear with a carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern throughout the year, not just during the Halloween period.
Reduced ordinary-day chance
Outside Halloween the chance is about 365 times lower, so the effect is incredibly rare on regular days.
Data pack option
A data pack version gives the same spawn behavior on servers that run data packs instead of installing the mod.
