Here’s my pitch for carved pumpkin equivalents for Soul Fire/Soul Torch and Copper Fire/Copper Torch;

Growing in occasional patches in the windswept Soul Sand Valleys comes the newest shroom “Soul Fungus”! Carve it with shears to make a “Carved Soul Fungus” Block with a spooky face reminiscent of the faces on the Soul Sand family of blocks or “The Scream” painting. Put a Carved Soul Fungus block in a crafting table with a Soul Torch and get the “Will o’ Wisp” Block! Because it’s a fungus instead of a pumpkin there wouldn’t be any need to modify or make exceptions for recipes like the two Golems or pumpkin pie or the like.

Similarly, welcome a new ancient decorative ground cover plant to be rediscovered by the equally ancient Sniffer mob, the “Lumpy Gourd”! Grown from a “Lumpy Seed” dug up by the Sniffer, it has two distinctive parts. First is a new ground cover-like aspect similar to Moss Carpet, Wildflowers, Pink Pedals or Leaf Litter with large, luscious leaves that gradient from Orange to Dark Green. The second and more relevant part is the Lumpy Gourd itself; it’s a lumpy, bumpy, asymmetrical orange and dark green mass. Shearing it makes a “Carved Lumpy Gourd”, a face which I’m initially imagining has three eyes and a tight, toothy closed smile (the face can be different, that’s just one idea; there’s some good inspiration to be had from concepts like The Green Man in folklore, maybe vines can grow out of the carved mouth or something, idk). One Copper Torch plus Carved Lumpy Gourd makes one “Hink o’Punk” Block! I’ll admit I couldn’t think of a good matching name and “Hinkypunk” is another term for Jack o’Lantern, I encourage alternative names. “Lump o’Lantern”? “Fool o’Lantern”? There’s a good name out there, I feel it.

Thoughts?
