Steps to grow pumpkins in Minecraft

Pumpkins don't grow the same way as other crops. Pumpkins grow on a separate patch of ground from where the seeds were placed. Rather, they'll grow close to the stem. Ensure that at least one adjacent block is free when planting.

Now tile the land with the hoe. You can do this by right-clicking.

The cropland should then be hydrated by placing a nearby water source block. You are able to cultivate as many pumpkins as you like by doing this.

You can plant your pumpkin seeds on the field once your water has been set up. On the farmland, right-click with your selected pumpkin seeds. If you want to accelerate the process after planting your pumpkin seeds, you can use a bone meal.

Apart from that, a light level of 10 is necessary to grow pumpkins. Put torches nearby or some Glowstones above the stems to provide sufficient light for the pumpkins to grow.
