Pumpkin Bomb is a hostile mob added by Born in Chaos. It is a stationary, fire-immune monster that does not attack. Instead it detonates about 1.2 seconds after it appears, dealing explosion damage and afflicting nearby entities with Infernal Flame. Besides the spawn egg, it is summoned by Lord Pumpkinhead.

Spawning

It has no natural spawn entries, so it does not appear in any biome or structure. Three sources produce it:

• Spawn egg: the Pumpkin Bomb Spawn Egg, which stacks to 64.
• Lord Pumpkinhead: the boss summons Pumpkin Bombs during its combat reactions. In its head-hit reaction, while its health is at least 30, there is a 35% chance of a summon. In its injury reaction, while its health is above 40, there is a 55% chance of a summon. Each summon spawns one bomb at the boss's position.

Does not spawn naturally in any biome (see Obtaining/Spawning text).

Behavior

The bomb's fuse starts the moment it is created, so every bomb detonates regardless of how it was spawned.

• Movement and AI: it has zero movement speed and registers no attack goal. Its only goals are looking at players within 6 blocks and floating in liquids. It does not walk toward players or strike them, even though its attributes list an attack damage of 1.
• Fuse: on creation it gains Damage Resistance V and the internal Block Break effect for 30 ticks. Once the Block Break effect has 7 or fewer ticks left, the bomb explodes. That is 23 ticks (about 1.15 seconds) after it appears. While the fuse runs, it plays a "boom" animation.
• Explosion: the detonation is a non-destructive explosion with a radius of 3 blocks. It does not break blocks. Every living entity within 3.5 blocks, nearest first, receives Infernal Flame at level I for 240 ticks (12 seconds). Entities currently blocking with a shield are skipped.
• Ground effect: if the block directly below the bomb is solid and is not bedrock, that block is replaced with Fel Soil, keeping the block states that carry over. The bomb is removed after it explodes.
• Fire immunity: the bomb cannot be set on fire, and it is immune to explosions, falls, drowning, cacti, lightning, falling anvils, the wither, dragon breath, poison and thrown potions.
• Damage it ignores: arrows and direct melee attacks by players do no damage. This means the bomb is not usually stopped by weapons, so the fuse is the main threat.
• Death: the bomb has 15 health and gives no experience when killed.

Drops

The Pumpkin Bomb has no loot table and drops nothing. See the table below for confirmation.

No item drops.

Tips

• Keep your distance when you see a Pumpkin Bomb, since the blast reaches 3.5 blocks. A shield held up at the moment of detonation prevents the Infernal Flame effect.
• Because the bomb is not stopped by arrows or melee, do not count on killing it before the fuse ends. Move out of its radius as soon as it appears.
• Fights with Lord Pumpkinhead can fill an arena with bombs. Plan your position before the boss is struck.
