Useful Pumpkins Mod Overview:
This mod makes pumpkins an actually desirable Minecraft item by adding new blocks, items & foods.

Pumpkin Slices & Seeds:
Pumpkin Slices can be crafted from Pumpkins. They are equivalent to a carrot in hunger restored.
Pumpkin Slices can be crafted with gold nuggets into Golden Pumpkin Slices, which have slightly better hunger & saturation restoration than a Golden Carrot.
Pumpkin Seeds can also be smelted into Roasted Pumpkin Seeds.

Siwnin:
Similar to Midori Blocks from the Quark Mod, Siwnin is a new decoration block that is crafted from Pumpkin Paste, which comes from smelting pumpkin slices. This orange block comes in a raw, smooth & brick form. It can be made into stairs, slabs & walls in a stonecutter or crafting table.
