THE LAST HOMELY HEARTH – The Illager raids have reached the once-quiet fields of Pumpkin Pastures. As the Villagers were dragged off in chains and everything burned, it seemed all was lost. But one village still stands in the chaos. That last homely hearth remains a beacon of hope, but they need our help!

In-game story

There's been no news from the villages to the north in weeks, and those pumpkin farmers always were of the chatty sort. Can't be a good sign in times like these.

Unused uncharted text

It always generates the Mystery Ship optional sub dungeon that contains a scroll which, if collected, unlocks the Arch Haven secret mission.

Appearance and description Edit

PUMPKIN PASTURES – The Illager raids have brought this fertile land to ruin, apart from one lone village which remains unspoiled. You must warn its Villagers of the danger marching toward them.

Guide to Minecraft Dungeons:
A Handbook for Heroes

Pumpkin Pastures is a vast expanse of autumnal farmlands and villages that have been ravaged by the Arch-Illager's army, with the villagers of the pastures having been captured and caravanned elsewhere. It features burning village houses, pumpkins, lakes, ruins, bridges, windmills, and farms. Near the start of the mission, a large ship can be found that contains the entrance door of Mystery Ship. Mystery Ship contains the captured mystery merchant, as well as a scroll left behind by a navigator from Pumpkin Pastures.[1] Halfway through the mission, a drawbridge must be lowered using two levers, leading to a supplies chest and granting access further into the mission. At the end of the mission, a village bell can be found in the center of a village that, if rung, alerts the Arch-Illager who summons an ambush of Illagers.

Dungeons BetaAdded Pumpkin Pastures.
1.10.2.0Added Old Town Hall and Old Town Hall Shelter, which can spawn if the host has the Echoing Void DLC.

Trivia Edit

  • Pumpkin Pastures is one of only two non-secret missions that are not required to finish the main story, sharing this distinction with Soggy Swamp.
  • During development, Pumpkin Pastures was implemented out of a desire for an area of brightly lit, open farmlands, as opposed to previously implemented levels, which had been dark and cramped.[2]
  • On default difficulty, one evoker always spawns as a mini boss on the main path shortly before the village found at the end of the mission.
  • Although pillagers do not appear normally in this mission without the presence of modifiers, two of them can be seen in the loading screen for this mission, as well as in pre-release screenshots.
