The Pumpkin Challenge
Looking for new challenges in Minecraft? Tired of monotonous enemies? Want to find a place where you can fully focus on battles?
Stop searching! The Pumpkin Challenge modification was created specifically for you!
What does the mod represent?
The Pumpkin Challenge is a PVE genre modification that adds a new dimension called The Pumpkin Realm to the game. Here, players must fight endless waves of progressively stronger mobs.
Key Features
Difficulty System
The challenge is divided into levels: copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite. (Note: Currently, only copper and iron levels are available; more difficult modes will appear in future updates).
Each challenge level consists of several phases divided into combat and preparation modes.
Preparation Periods
There are two non-combat phases — rest and construction.
Rest phase occurs after each combat wave, allowing participants to recover health and prepare for the next attack. During the entire challenge, building and block destruction is prohibited, except for objects that can be instantly broken, such as grass and tall grass.
Construction phase — this is the only period when you can freely modify the arena landscape. It replaces the rest phase in two cases: at the start of the challenge and after successful completion of the boss round.
Combat Episodes
Enemy creature waves come in two types: normal and final boss battles.
Normal wave fills the game space with mobs, and they appear throughout the wave period. After a certain time interval, it will automatically end once a specified number of enemies are neutralized by any means — be it by the player's hand or environmental influence, such as falling into the void.
To successfully complete a wave, a certain number of kills must be achieved. The required number of targets is communicated to all participants at the start of each round along with the difficulty level.
Difficulty points increase dramatically with each completed wave until the enemies' numbers and characteristics become simply unbeatable. Complete disaster can be avoided if the player leaves the challenge in time.
Boss appears on set cycles — by default, this happens every fifth completed round.
During such a final battle, a single main enemy appears. If you fail to defeat him very quickly, after some time you will see another boss, and so on several times, but the round can be completed early after killing at least one of them.
After a triumphal battle, an exit portal appears in the central part of the field. It disappears after the construction phase ends, so you can only exit through it immediately after the combat phase ends.
Leaving the challenge before your defeat after fighting the boss gives the player certain reward bags, the quantity and quality of which depend on the number of waves completed in one gaming session. Rewards range from simple mandatory pumpkins and ore resources to powerful unique weapons.
For effective rewards, the main secret is persistence. The longer a person remains taking challenges without dying, the higher the quality of prizes becomes. Therefore, be careful and don't risk mindlessly exceeding your own survival capabilities.
How to Start the Challenge?
Before entering the trial, you need to create a Pumpkin Medallion, for which by default you need ectoplasm residue and four pumpkins. Ectoplasm drops from spirits that occasionally appear when enemies die in the Nether or on the Overworld at night and above ground.
Having formed the medallion, you can use it by right-clicking on a world block, sacrificing an item trophy to create a portal to the challenge. All characters will be instantly delivered to the gaming stage once the colliders released around the portal connect. If the transfer already exists, a separate experiment is magically created — the maximum concurrent instances cannot exceed 5 challenges at once.
