You can use a pumpkin to spawn an iron golem

You can use an uncarved pumpkin to spawn an iron golem, in addition to the correct jack o'lantern/carved pumpkin.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Make a T shape out of iron blocks.

  2. Place a regular pumpkin on the top middle iron block.

Expected results:
The pumpkin is placed on the iron block – a carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern should be required.

Actual results:
An iron golem is spawned.

It is intentional that carved pumpkin can be used to spawn golems. But I'm not so sure about the regular faceless pumpkin.

I know both the Jack O' Lantern and the Carved Pumpkin are intended, not sure about the blank pumpkin, as mentioned above.

Seems to be a bug. In java only carved pumpkin and jack o lanterns are valid to spawn golems.

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been closed as Working as Intended.

To protect backwards compatibility, we've kept the design that uncarved and carved pumpkins can create golems.
