Pumpkin Carving
Note
The 1.8 update breaks the method previously used for not showing the pumpkin face. I am looking into how to make this plugin work as intended again for 1.8 servers.
Brief Summary
Pumpkin Carving adds the game realism that pumpkins do not naturally grow with faces. Pumpkins must be carved with an axe to have a normal with-face appearance.
Details
- Pumpkins grow "faceless"
- A broken faceless pumpkin drops a pumpkin item with custom name and lore
- Placing an "uncarved" pumpkin item will result in placing a faceless pumpkin
- Using any axe on a placed faceless pumpkin will carve it (turn it into vanilla pumpkin)
- Players in Creative mode will not have axes damaged by carving
Plugin has soft/optional dependency on WorldEdit to prevent selection wand from getting used as carving tool.
Install
- Download jar and add into your plugin folder.
- Restart server.
- Tweak config if desired
Config
uncarved-name: Faceless Pumpkin
Name appears both when you highlight the pumpkin item in your hotbar and while hovering it in your inventory. Has italic style in inventory.
uncarved-lore: Uncarved
Lore appears only while hovering the pumpkin item in your inventory. Has purple color.
Permissions/Commands
There are no commands/permissions distinguishing who gets what pumpkins. Everybody gets faceless pumpkins.
For reloading the configuration, a player must be OP or have the permission node pumpkincarving.admin
The command for reloading is /pumpkincarving reload and /pumpkincarving alone will show plugin version and reload command usage.
/pcarv and /pcarving are command aliases.
Metrics
This plugin no longer uses Hidendra's Metrics and no replacement has been added.

If you are able to deliver a functional rewrite, I would not mind passing maintenance of this project over. The problem I met is that using a data value no longer works to put all sides as "uncarved", so a different approach is needed. Unfortunately I currently cannot give the sort of attention needed to work through the matter.
If you get this to work with 1.8, I'll promise to start using it on my server! :)
I'm creating a server with lots of plugins and this kind of small changes to vanilla minecraft are always welcome, also I kind of hate when every single pumpkin has a face, as my server really isn't halloween themed :D
Looks like a nice plugin, thanks for making this.
TBH, I don't know what ran through the developers at Mojang when they decided all pumpkins should naturally spawn with a face pre-carved into it...

I'm guessing because it's a small novelty plugin (limited benefit to players). :)
@limych
I believe all the parts of the Bukkit API that I use were available in 1.6.4, but my testing has been very limited with that version. I'd need feedback from people successfully using the plugin to say confidently how well it works with 1.6.4.
Does it work at 1.6.4?
Why aren't people downloading this? This would be cool for a normal survival server .-.
